INN (nnrp.access)

[Morten Primdahl <morten caput com>]

Hi

I'm configuring INN at the moment (trying to, thus the mail ;).
I want to set the news server up as an internal server, only
machines from the place I work at should be able to Read and Post
to the news server. I do not want feed and want it all to be a
'closed deal' as it is going to serve us for documentation
purposes. 

In the nnrp.access file I added *.caput.com. The proble is that
the server that runs the news server has some of the machine
names in its /etc/hosts file, which means that eg. stuff.caput.com
is known as stuff on the server. 

Is there a neat way of fixing this? The reverse lookup displays
stuff and not stuff.caput.com as nnrp.access wants it to.
Would be annoying having to edit access.nnrp each time we get a
new machine.

Thanks

Morten
