How would it know the host name?
It would look up the name in /etc/hosts :)
How do you imagine it works?
I imagined it would work like man hosts.allow indicates
The access control language implements the following patterns:
· A string that begins with a ‘.´ character. A host name is
matched if the last components of its name match the specified
pattern. For example, the pattern ‘.tue.nl´ matches the host
name ‘wzv.win.tue.nl´.
then looking through man -s 5 hosts_access the example
/etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup
ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu
would suggest it should work. :-D
Feel free to look through the rest of the thread for more info.
