Description John Dalbec 2001-08-28 18:27:09 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-12 i686)

Description of problem:
The configuration defaults in slapd were changed not to reverse-resolve IP
addresses to hostnames.  This breaks /etc/hosts.allow when hostnames are
used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set up /etc/hosts.allow (and hosts.deny) using hostnames instead of
IPs.
2.  Start slapd.
3.  telnet localhost ldap
4.  The connection is immediately broken.
5.  Log message "host access from unknown (127.0.0.1) denied."
	

Actual Results:  (see above)

Expected Results:  The LDAP server should accept connections from hosts as
defined in /etc/hosts.allow.
