Doing only IP matching also would work. If you want to serve only clients on an ip subnetwork, you can simply have (if I recall well) in hosts.allow mountd: 192.168.0. and in hosts.deny ALL: ALL Now, if hosts.deny indeed uses a host name, then if there is no host name, the mount may not be denied, although it should have. However the best would be that tcp_wrappers knows if the hostname is needed, and if needed, and not provided, it denies. The API has a possibility to pass STRING_UNKNOWN to hosts_ctl, maybe it does things right in that case? -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
