i think your /etc/hosts.deny (or allow/both) may be too strict. i would reccomend installing an identd server on 192.168.0.50 and setup reverse dns for that zone 192.168.0.50 for optimal results. the system is just paranoid to let you in because the usual checks to verify the system that is connecting are not working. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
