Subject: DNS/host file looksups with ssh and tcp wrappers



I am running ssh on Solaris 7 inconjuction with tcp wrappers.  We cannot use ssh to 
login to a server running sshd2 unless the host connecting to the server is either a 
resolvable through DNS or there is an entry in the /etc/hosts file, regardless of the 
fact the hosts are specifically mentioned in the hosts.allow file.  Is this a security 
feature that can be turned off?  We do not want ssh to attempt DNS resolutions.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks.
