So it works now? Hmmm. on my system hosts.allow and hosts.deny are both empty (exept comments), which allows everything from everywhere (nobody get excited, I'm also running netfilter packet filtering :), and this is the default I think as I haven't touched them. These files only apply to services run out of inetd. I've always run sshd as a stand alone deamon (though there may be and inetd option on install I forget) The case sensitivity of host names is news to me, but after alittle testing it looks like /etc/hosts *is* case sensitive while DNS lookups are not, hum, live and learn :) I'm be interested to know if it still works if you remove the hosts.allow entry (assuming you haven't edited hosts.deny) :Thanx again for the fast response. :Sure to use this channel again I think this list is one of the best things about Debian (though apt is a close second). I owe it alot... -Jon
