           Summary: rsyncd.conf allow does not like CNAME
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.9
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: marc at perkel.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


When using rsyncd.conf - if the host allow uses a host name and when the FCrDNS
of the host name is verified, if the reverse pointer references a CNAME - it
doesn't work. The following fails.

hosts allow = *.ctyme.com
