Apr 17 14:58:33 duo xinetd[325]: warning: /etc/hosts.deny, line 15: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(kat.lan) failed
aaugh! my wife's machine is windo~1 98 at 192.168.1.200; my machine is a mac os 8.1 at 192.168.1.100. i have no trouble connecting via ftp (or ssh or http) but she's bounced out with the xinetd[325]: warning: /etc/hosts.deny, line 15: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(kat.lan) failed we both have the same nameserver setup (name server is debian potato at 192.168.1.1) ... what do i need to look for? here are the /etc/bind/lan* files that pertain: ; ; *.LAN bind/named/dns ; $TTL 2W @ IN SOA lan. root.lan. ( 200104171 ; Serial 8H ; Refresh 2H ; Retry 1W ; Expire 1D ) ; Default TTL ; @ NS ns A 192.168.1.1 ns A 192.168.1.1 duo A 192.168.1.2 mac A 192.168.1.100 kat A 192.168.1.200 and here's the reverse-lookup file to match: ; ; *.LAN reverse lookup bind/named/dns ; (1.168.192.in-addr.arpa) ; $TTL 2W @ IN SOA lan. root.lan. ( 200104173 ; Serial 8H ; Refresh 2H ; Retry 1W ; Expire 1D ) ; Default TTL @ NS ns.lan. @ PTR lan. ; 1 IN PTR ns.lan. ; 2 IN PTR duo.lan. 100 IN PTR mac.lan. 200 IN PTR kat.lan. duo.lan is a secondary debian server, and she can't get in from 192.168.1.200 because of a gripe against /etc/hosts.deny, which contains ALL: PARANOID but i can get in from 192.168.1.100 with no trouble. what gives? -- don't visit this page. it's bad for you. take my expert word for it. http://www.salon.com/people/col/pagl/2001/03/21/spring/index1.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sourceforge.net/projects/newbiedoc -- we need your brain! http://www.dontUthink.com/ -- your brain needs us!
