Re: [leafnode-list] libwrap problem

[Doug Laidlaw <laidlaws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Joerg and Matthias.  It is the standard setup I have written in about 
before.

I have found it - it was a typo.  I had a comma instead of one of the periods 
in the address in /etc/hosts.allow.  I missed this when I checked it over 
before.  Now everything is fine.

Doug.
