Hmm, OK. I have an alias set in /etc/hosts
If I do ssh indy
I get the above error, when I do ssh real.silly.long.host.name
I get connected without problem.

The PARANOID setting is only on the client's host.deny, not on the
server's. Isn't that strange? Or do I think the wrong way round?

I'll try it out anyway.
