Having ALL: PARANOID in /etc/hosts.deny only causes problems and doesn't provide any special security. Its very annoing when you can't access some server because this. Or worse, the clients doesn't accept the server stuff. I strongly believe that this should be removed in posterior releases of debian O.S ¿what do you think? Regards -- Pedro Larroy Tovar.
