hello, This may be the wrong list to post to, but please forgive me. I have recently been seeing this in my log files, seeming to occur roughly every half hour for periods of time. Aug 24 16:29:09 tvtsv2 inetd[59868]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 29: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(tm1665-4.oninet.ne.jp) failed line 29 of /etc/hosts.allow is: ALL : localhost localhost.tvt.ne.jp : allow The system is, unfortunately, Freebsd 3.3-RELEASE, but with relevant security patches applied (hopefully!). Would anyone be able to clue me in as to what might be going on? Thanks, MRC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
