Thank to everyone for the help.
Leafnode put the workstation system name amd localnode in
/etc/hosts.allow. When I put the numerical address in the file
everything works fine.
I'm sorry for the repost, the return messages got droped into a folder
that I wasn't expecting them in. I finally found them.
