It's just an IPv4 address presented in IPv6 format. It's quite typical
for an IPv6-aware applications to use that format.

That's what I thought as well...but then would I get a name mismatch?
as a reverse DNS on 192.168.3.140 points at Athenae?

I thought it was the ::ffff: part throwing it off...maybe the
host.{conf,allow,deny} libs don't know it's the same?




Why not just nuke the line in hosts.allow and see if it comes back?
