I found the following in my daily security email:

blacklamb.mykitchentable.net kernel log messages:
> Jun  1 01:33:15 blacklamb sshd[30021]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow,
line 23: host name/address mismatch: 210.59.224.42 !=
server1.camelweb.com.tw
> Jun  1 01:33:15 blacklamb sshd[30022]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow,
line 23: host name/address mismatch: 210.59.224.42 !=
server1.camelweb.com.tw

I checked my hosts.allow file and line 23 is the default:

ALL : ALL : allow

I have not changed hosts.allow from the default.  What do the above
messages mean and what should I do about them (if anything)?

Thanks,

Drew
