Re: [cobalt-users] Reverse lookup when connecting through FTP... Usefull?

["John Theriault" <johnlt@xxxxxxx>]

Not too sure why it's useful or whether is has any use at all... but...

I'm not too sure about email, but I know proftpd does a reverse lookup by

UseReverseDNS    off

After that, restart inetd and you should be set.
