Hey there listers,

        I am trying to allow anonymous ftp to my machine, but it seems to
not be working correctly.

        hosts.deny = ALL:ALL

        hosts.allow =   ALL:(internal machine)
                        ALL:(Work Machines)
                        20:ALL
                        21:ALL
                        22:ALL
                        23:ALL
                        25:ALL
                        80:ALL

        ftp works fine from my work & internal machines with one caveat -> I
cannot ls the ftp
home directory (ls -al _does_ work, though)...  

        I was at a class, & decided it would be a perfect opportunity to try
to ftp from remote, and
got an access denied message.  I decided to try to ssh in & see if I could
figure out what was
going on, with the same result...  This was in my logs (messages):

Jul 20 07:29:57 tomii sshd[7323]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 8: can't
verify hostname: g
ethostbyname(lounge4.roc.ltree.com) failed
Jul 20 07:30:31 tomii sshd[7326]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 8: can't
verify hostname: g
ethostbyname(lounge4.roc.ltree.com) failed
Jul 20 07:34:38 tomii sshd[7329]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 8: can't
verify hostname: g
ethostbyname(lounge4.roc.ltree.com) failed

For the ftp, this was found in my secure log, but not in messages:

Jul 18 07:34:10 tomii in.ftpd[5641]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 8:

Jul 18 07:35:15 tomii in.ftpd[5643]: refused connect from 199.170.66.243


        HTTP (port 80) is working just fine from this location, however.
Can someone help
me with this - Oh, I have no name server running on my box (not even squid),
could that
be part of this screwey message?

Thanks,
        Tom
