I don't really know what the log message means. Why would it specify

enlightenment would be appreciated.
I had a lot of trouble with the hosts.allow/deny stuff when there
were multiple names for the same IP. It apparently picks one at random
in a reverse lookup of the name, and if it doesn't match the name
you gave in the file, it complains. I resorted to using IP addresses
(which means I have to change when the IP changes - sort of a pain,
but it reduces the log clutter :-).
Thanks for the response. Some others have suggested that is where the
problem lies as well. I'm not sure why denyhosts sometimes puts a name
rather than an IP. I guess I'll have to see if there is a denyhosts
list and ask there.
