Done that anyway..
Nah, its trying to authenticate the client connecting using a dns lookup
before I installed bind, it just looked at the /etc/hosts file, saw the
name and ip of the incoming client and away it went.
After I installed bind, it only went looking on the 'net for the
validation

I'll try the hosts.conf file idea..
I have Debian 2.1 here and there's no manpage for it..

Let you know how I get on anyway..
