xinetd /etc/host.deny ALL:PARANOID
We are an ISP (Internet Service Provider) and we use Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3
(potato) as mail and DNS server:
sendmail 8.9.3-23
qpopper 2.53-5
bind 8.2.3
Is It safe to delete the ALL:PARANOID line in /etc/hosts.deny to avoid the
below messages in /var/log/syslog?
Jan 22 12:13:46 excalibur xinetd[254]: warning: /etc/hosts.deny, line 15:
can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(geicamdsl.easynet.es) failed
