Pierangelo, Thanks for your help. I have host.allow letting everything in on the two other networks I am trying to connect to the ldap server. I already have iptables controlling access and really do not need hosts.allow. I have never tried to turn hosts.allow off... guess renaming the file or deleting it would do. However I don't think this is a problem with hosts.allow in that I am getting log information that demonstrates connection "DENIED" from ldap. Do you have other suggestions? Greg
