name/address mismatch


You may get in the messages log the follow error when trying access a FTP server on Solaris:

Jul 16 16:19:13 SolarisServer in.ftpd[1940]: [ID 913506 daemon.warning] refused connect from 172.152.121.114 (name/address mismatch)

This happends because the server cannot resolve your IP address. To solve it, you need disable TCP_WRAPPERS checks for in.ftpd by using this command:

# inetadm -m  svc:/network/ftp:default tcp_wrappers=FALSE

After that, you will be able to do FTP again
