No, you just need to allow access. By default, debian is set up to deny access to machines it can't get a name for. (You can see what happened if you look at /var/log/daemon.log) You have at least two options, then: Add a line to /etc/hosts for every host that you will want to access your machine from, something like this: 192.68.0.1 cushl.localnet cushl 192.68.0.2 wsw.localnet wsw Or, you can change this default policy by commenting out the "ALL: PARANOID" line in /etc/hosts.deny. Then, any host will be able to connect to your machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
