Good point.  I was coming from a dynamic IP.  But I could have added
the ISP's subnet in the hosts.allow.  Wasn't a big issue as it only
happened a few times and was only a R&D box to play with so it could
always wait until the next morning when I went in and removed the
entry from host.deny.  So never explored a better solution.
