[LUG] pop3d (inetd) problems,

[Robin Cornelius <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

installed dhcp all OK. my pcs ip is now dynamic between 
192.168.0.128-192.168.0.254 (it was static on 192.168.0.2). Now pop3d will 
not let me connect (nor will imapd) it dies with "connection reset by peer" 
in mail.log. 

other services (samba/apache) seem ok so i assume it is inetd related. 
Hosts.allow allows basicly everything. (yes naughty i know) . no other errors 
anywhere.  I had this when i first set the servers up some years ago and it 
went away when i either added a /etc/hosts entry for my pc or a dns entry. 
there for i assume it is a reverse look up, no host associated with ip 
address type problem.

What can i do to make the inetd services accessable without /etc/hosts or dns?

Thanks

Robin
