What type of share ? NFS/Samba ? Please provide the command you are using to
mount the share(s).

What's in /etc/hosts.allow ? If there's more than 1 nic on either computer
and both are on different subnets, then the incoming IP can be of a
different subnet which is not allowed in hosts.allow.

SSH uses tcp_wrappers, so hosts.allow should have: "sshd: IP" (without
quotes).

Subject: [SLUG] Can't find address error


Hi all,

I am trying to set up file sharing between redhat 7.3 and madrake 9.0.  both
machines have been issued static IP addresses and each has each other's
details in /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.allow.  Users have accounts on both
machines.

Both machines Ping each other happily and both use the E-Smith server to get
out onto the internet.  When I try to mount the desired shares, I recieve
the
error message "Can't find address for <mahine name or ip here>"

I recieve this error on both platforms... neither machine will ssh into the
other either.
