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?
