Hi all! Did get this message in my log: > May 12 21:07:12 fw inetd[30064]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 23: host name/name mismatch: hosting-90.120.rev.fr.colt.net != everlund.homeip.net What do trigger this message? Looking only at the equivalence; hosting-90.120.rev.fr.colt.net != everlund.homeip.net, that the "visiting" host is different than my domain, I would get this message from every "visiting" computer, but I do not. Do the message imply a security threat, or nothing bad has really happened, or bad things can happen out of this? Depending of what triggers it, can I change anything in hosts.allow to stop those hosts that fire up these warnings? Thanks in advance for all the help I can get on this matter!
