is the IP in question in /etc/hosts.deny ???

does it do it with all IP's or just specific IP's..

Do you have portsentry running and setup to add deny hosts to host.deny??

I had similiar problems once, and that turned out to be the problem, for
some reason, portsentry started adding all ip's that connected to hosts.deny
and I didn't notice for a while so in trying to find the problem I wasted
many an hour.

Hi list,

For the past few days I've been getting some unexpected behavior from
xinetd in that it won't allow pop3 connections. the log entry i'm getting
is this:

    darcmatter xinetd[6617]: libwrap refused connection to pop3 from
    [ip number has been snipped]

this is a first for this to happen for me and i've not got a clue as to
what is going on. I'm using Postfix on a Mandrake 8.1 installation. I can
use the machine just fine as an SMTP. It will accept and deliver mail from
other machines, but i won't allow connection and collection of any
incoming mail.

what is it trying to tell me?

thanks
