I am setting up a server. It uses Gentoo Hardened kernel sources, though at present most security features have not yet been compiled into the kernel. I also used the hardened profile. Now I am trying to get sshd working on there.

In /etc/hosts.deny I have

Code:

ALL: all

If I put

Code:

sshd: <ip address of my laptop>

in /etc/hosts.allow then ssh connects successfully. However, if I put

Code:

sshd: avs-laptop.avs-net

which is defined in /etc/hosts, then I cannot connect. /var/log/syslog on the host reports that there has been a name/address mismatch since

Quote:

avs-laptop.avs-net != <ip address of laptop>

Is there anything I can do to resolve this, or should I just put the laptop's IP address in /etc/hosts.allow?
