Bug#395535: the error is in the hosts.deny file



Hello,

The error is in the hosts.deny file.

It should be:

ALL: ALL

Not

ALL: PARANOID

The "PARANOID" "client" is described thusly in the man page (hosts_access):

"Matches  any  host  whose name does not match its address."

This means if the host is in the DNS server, it will happily connect. This 
apears that ssh is not paying attention to the hosts.deny file.

This is probably not what you want.

Jean
