Subject:   Disabling reverse DNS lookups for ftpd?
Message-ID:  <Pine.BSF.4.21.0008040048190.83082-100000@sasami.jurai.net>

I'm sure that I'm overlooking something obvious (probably even obscenely
so in hindsight), but I don't seem to be able to find anyway of disabling
reverse DNS lookups in the stock FreeBSD 3.3 ftpd so people w/o hostnames
connecting to my box don't have to wait for the lookup to timeout before
going about their business.

I know I could put the offending IPs in /etc/hosts as a kludge, but I'd
rather not since most of those experiencing the timeouts are in dynamic
IP pools.

As for ftpd itself, I'm invoking it with -l -l out of inetd -l -w -W,
while all my /etc/hosts.allow contains is 'ALL : ALL : allow'.

Any pointers much appreciated and many thanks in advance.
