Hi Howard, (01)
I realized that putting the hostname in hosts.allow for a dynamic IP
won't work, because ssh does a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address of
the machine that you are connecting from (actually the NAT'd address).
The reverse DNS lookup will return the canonical name for that IP
address (i.e. adsl-71-132-13-235.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) and the
hostnames will not match. (02)
There doesn't seem to be a good solution for this problem. Static IPs
can be useful to have, although they always cost more money for some
rason. Although the openssh server supports hostbased authentication for
ssh2 protocol, putty (on Windows XP) does not support it at all. (03)
In the meantime, I have hacked up a script that will stick your dynamic
IP number into my hosts.allow file. It's not ideal, but should work for now. (04)
Before you use subversion, go to the following url in your browser: (05)
http://nls-augment.org/cgi-bin/ip (06)
You'll need to do that each time your IP changes. (07)
