Question Logwatch results


Can anyone tell me what these mean?

create_udp_client: hostname lookup failed: No such process
lookup_mount: exports lookup failed for .directory
create_tcp_client: hostname lookup failed: no such process


And, everything works fine, but I get:
Warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line (7+8) missing ":" seperator.

#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#

192.168.
192.168.1.64


I just noticed that something changed my hosts.allow file.

Have a look at man 5 hosts_access, but briefly...

You need a daemon specifier before the client specifier. For example, ALL: 192.168. instead of just 192.168. You will also need an entry in /etc/hosts.deny to stop everybody else:
Code:
ALL: ALL@ALL, PARANOID
ALL is a keyword to specify all daemons. You can specify individual daemons as well, the man page has examples which should explain this better.
