    Hi,

    When using ssh to connect to another computer the software seems to add to
    the IP address ::ffff: e.g. ::ffff:131.42.12.233 not just 131.42.12.233.
    This causes the connection to be rejected by the remote hosts.allow
    because there is a mismatch of IP address!= name . The remote hosts.allow
    has the statements
    ALL : UNKNOWN : DENY
    ALL : PARANOID : DENY

    The simplest fix is to remove the UNKNOW and PARANOID checks,
    which is not secure.

    I will appreciate any help.

    TIA
