Subject: deny !nameserved

I've just attempted to upgrade from wu-ftpd 2.4.2 (Academ)
to wu-ftpd 2.5.0 on Solaris 7.  I'm using the same ftpaccess
for each, including the line 

"deny !nameserved /apps/unique/wu-ftpd-250/!nameserved"

Unfortunately, wu-ftpd 2.5.0 is refusing access to hosts which
do have valid PTR entries in the domain name service.  Before
I get out the debugger, does anyone have a quick fix?

Thanks
Simon

I just tested on ftp.vr.net and it works fine for me.  Check you local DNS
setup, maybe it's failing on lookups?
