That one is easy to solve. Add yourself to hosts.allow which overrides any
entries in hosts.deny

Good point. I was coming from a dynamic IP. But I could have added
the ISP's subnet in the hosts.allow. Wasn't a big issue as it only
happened a few times and was only a R&D box to play with so it could
always wait until the next morning when I went in and removed the
entry from host.deny. So never explored a better solution.
