The appearance of IP addresses makes me suspect that you don't have
reverse DNS happening. Maybe mountd just logs like that, I don't remember,
but that sort of thing (from userspace) very often means that a reverse
lookup failed.

Well, so long as 192.168.1.2 can be resolved back into *.os2.ami.com.au,
thats great. If not, the TCPwrappers will have no idea who it is.
