 I have an FTP service receiving very little use. But, there is a connection 
I receive periodically from a Verizon dynamic address, and every time I get 
that connection, I see the following to my system console:
Jan 5 23:04:45 hostname inetd[25004]: warning: can't verify hostname: 
getaddrinfo(pool-96-230-NN-MM.washdc.east.verizon.net, 2) failed
 Now, because the default in NetBSD is to allow such, it works. But, is there 
any way I can configure inetd, tcpwrappers, or ftpd so that I don't get this 
error message many times a day? Can I override the "check the hostname via 
DNS" for specific addresses?
 Thanks....
