Message-Id: <20001014194007.0A7097D99@iaehv.iae.nl> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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 ?
