My syslog is showing zillions of messages:
Oct 24 02:25:58 opal xinetd[8054]: START: pop-3 pid=16534 from=61.134.64.199
Oct 24 02:25:59 opal xinetd[16534]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 7: can't
verify hostname: gethostbyname(199.64.134.61.broad.gs.dynamic.163data.com.cn)
failed
Oct 24 02:26:09 opal xinetd[8054]: EXIT: pop-3 status=0 pid=16534
duration=11(sec)
I run denyhosts but don't trap pop3 messages so I manually added the IP
address to /etc/hosts.deny and..., it made absolutely no difference. I run
qpopper which is compiled with xinetd support and xinetd uses tcpd, so I
assumed the address would be blocked. Apparently not so. Any ideas?
TIA
