Thanks in advance! Best regards, Paul My /etc/hosts.allow file (which I didn't know about until a previous discussion on this list, and which I just modified) has in it: # Start by allowing everything (this prevents the rest of the file # from working, so remove it when you need protection). # The rules here work on a "First match wins" basis. ALL : ALL : allow The "First match wins" basis is important because you can put other lines ahead of the ALL-ALL-allow line... by the way, when I query "host www2.tidenet.com" on two different nameservers I get host not found. -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
