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

always wait until the next morning when I went in and removed the
entry from host.deny.  So never explored a better solution.

I'm actually in the opposite situation. I discovered the above while I was on
an ISP that gave me a fixed IP address. I've since moved and am on Verizon
DSL now and get my IP dynamically. Given the number of probes I get from
addresses in the Verizon world, I'm not too happy with that solution at
present. ;-)
