What does hostname --fqdn say? If it is something like mybox.inforamp.net, then make sure you have a entry for this name in /etc/hosts or your box asks your ISP's nameserver about the "mybox" host in the inforamp.net domain. Then: a) the nameserver doesn't know about a host "mybox" or b) there is a host with this name already at the domain, but it doesn't have the IP you got on dialin. In both cases your box refuses connection due to the ALL:PARANOID line in /etc/hosts.deny. Ciao, Martin -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
