Not always,
/etc/host.deny and /etc/host.allow will cause some headache if it isn't set
correctly. I found this out when trying to do NFS install of RHL5.2. All
though I had entire lan listed in the host.allow ( .ohiocounty.net) I had to
remove the ALL:ALL from the host.deny. Then it worked. After I made the
connection (via NFS) I changed it back and it worked okay. Go figure ___
Hope that helps
