Thanks, Rick. At 01:47 PM 8/22/00 -0400, you wrote:
I missed the first part of this, but is the slow service perchanced wrapped by tcpwrappers? (ie: /usr/sbin/tcpd).
It is.
If so, check /etc/hosts.deny for the paranoid option: # # The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its # address.
I do have the PARANOID option set but I also have the ip address of the local machine in hosts.allow. Shouldn't the hosts.allow entry negate the PARANOID option for the specified ip addresses?
Also, the service does start eventually, it just takes 2-3 minutes. If PARANOID was disallowing the connection, the service would never start, right?
Thanks!
