Subject:   Double reverse lookup: OFF !!!!
Message-ID:  <20001014194007.0A7097D99@iaehv.iae.nl>

Some of my customers can't connect to my 4.1 system with anonymous ftp.

When it happens, I do get an error message on the console:
"Can't verify hostname: getaddrinfo(....., AF_INET) failed."

As far as I know, this is the paranoid double reverse lookup which fails to
match the IP-number with the hostname.

I do not want to let my customers stumble on this.
How can I turn this off ? I did have a look in the ftpd & inetd
daemon-sources, but did not find anything about it.


Any Idea ?
