I can't reproduce this and I have never heard about such a problem before. There has been a report that host only doesn't work and I have made the docu clearer beacuse of that (FQDN only). For me both FQDN and host name only works. > I'm not sure (I'm missing a test environment), but I believe this > patch should solve the problem.

I think this approach is ok in principle. However, your code doesn't work for me. Every (but local) access is denied. It doesn't matter if I use "host.domain.de" or "host" in saned.conf. I don't now yet why exactly. The address of the name(s) in saned.conf are detected correctly. The problem must be somewhere later in the code. Bye, Henning
