i understand. gabe precisely pinpointed the problem. i am stupid.
nevertheless, a busy multi-user system with clients logging in from
all over the world should not, in my opinion, be PARANOID since a lot
of networks (a) cannot "even consistently name a host," and (b)
especially people using ADSL lines tend to run their own name
services...

in any case, thanks for the help.

and another response to michael's post a second ago: debian-user is
frequently less helpful than plug on similar issues. that's why you
don't see me post stuff that i got from that mailing list.
