Hi,
I am using vncserver on Redhat 7.3. it's the one distributed with Redhat 
install CD. 
In my machine, I  uses hosts.deny to block all connection, and hosts.allow to 
allow any connection from my domain. It works fine with telnet, ssh, etc.

VNCServer however, seems to have trouble recognizing machine name. So if for 
example I connect from machine3.mydomain.com, it will be refused by vnc, 
saying Connection from <ip_address of machine 3> refused. Eventhoug if I 
explicitly put 
ALL: machine3.mydomain.com in my hosts.allow, vnc will still refuse it. 

It seems that it can't convert/lookup the IP address to machine name so that 
it can recognize that machine3 is in my domain. The only way I can make it 
work is if I type the IP Address of machine 3 in my hosts.allow.

Is there any workaround for this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Reuben D. Budiardja
