Eureka!
Determined to resolve this issue, I attempted to access the weblet over the VPN, and checked to see if any log file was touched.
Just one. daemon.log. Which told me that I had failed to place a carriage return after the second entry in hosts.allow for my ipsec'd subnet. One carriage return later, all is well.
Rejoice, etc.
Thanks to one and all for their help. Perhaps Jacq^H^H^H^HEric can add this to the next round of documentation. Or are trailing carriare returns just *nix common sense?
Not quite "*nix comon sense", but a good bit more general than this specific file (/etc/hosts.allow).
Some text files need a NEWLINE (0x0A or LineFeed, not a "carriage return" or 0x0D ... though properly configured Unix/Linux keyboard/text-processor combos do insert the correct character when the ENTER key is pressed, editing on a DOS/WIndows system and moving the file to a Unix/Linux system can introduce problems here) at the end of the last line of text. Some do not. As best as I can recall, adding one never hurts.
Whether this means the docs for a specific package should mention it or not is unclear to me ... if it should, I suspect a lot of documentation needs this addition, not just this package.
