I am a newbie to Linux. I set up a firewall box based upon E-Smith Server 5.0 so that I could remotely connect to my DSL-connected home network using PPTP while traveling. However, when I try to authenticate using a dial-up connection from my W2k laptop, the connection fails. The only clue that I have found to the connection failing is the following (sample) messages in the E-Smith log file:
Jan 13 09:24:01 gateway named[1588]: denied update from
[192.168.77.67].1898 for "mydomain.com" IN
Jan 13 09:24:01 gateway named[1588]: denied update from
[192.168.77.67].1903 for "xx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa" IN
("mydomain.com" is my domain name, and xx.xxx.xxx has replaced the IP address I tried to connect from)
What do these messages mean, and where can I find a description of the named daemon? Can anyone point me in the proper direction to fix or research this problem?
