Yes it was, thank you very much, setup one way and the copy's are underway 
right now.

The confusion seemed to have been that possibly host lookup wasn't good, 
and I finally had to put a * in the allowable address field since this 
machines name was given a "no permission" reject.  The manpages don't 
make it explicite that the second field is the host TO allow access to.  
No idea as to why the name lookup was bad though other than dhcpd didn't 
give that machine the same IP as it is in the hosts file.

That site really should be made into a pdf and archived for downloading, 
its much better that what I'd found with google.  Thanks again, Craig.
