ftp errors

["Burke, Thomas G." <thomas_g_burke md northgrum com>]

Hey there listers,

	I am trying to allow anonymous ftp to my machine, but it seems to
not be working correctly.

	hosts.deny = ALL:ALL

	hosts.allow = 	ALL:(internal machine)
			ALL:(Work Machines)
			20:ALL
			21:ALL
			22:ALL
			23:ALL
			25:ALL
			80:ALL

	ftp works fine from my work & internal machines with one caveat -> I
cannot ls the ftp
home directory (ls -al _does_ work, though)...  

	I was at a class, & decided it would be a perfect opportunity to try
to ftp from remote, and
got an access denied message.  I decided to try to ssh in & see if I could
figure out what was
going on, with the same result...  This was in my logs (messages):

Jul 20 07:29:57 tomii sshd[7323]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 8: can't
verify hostname: g
ethostbyname(lounge4.roc.ltree.com) failed
Jul 20 07:30:31 tomii sshd[7326]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 8: can't

Jul 20 07:34:38 tomii sshd[7329]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 8: can't
verify hostname: g
ethostbyname(lounge4.roc.ltree.com) failed

For the ftp, this was found in my secure log, but not in messages:

	HTTP (port 80) is working just fine from this location, however.
Can someone help
me with this - Oh, I have no name server running on my box (not even squid),
could that
be part of this screwey message?

Thanks,
	Tom
