[PLUG] /etc/hosts.allow question

  On my server/workstation here on the LAN, /etc/hosts.allow lets me ssh in
from my notebook when it's on the network or when I use a modem to dial into
my ISP shell account. However, I discovered yesterday, it's not configured
to let me ssh directly from a dynamic IP address elsewhere (and outside the
firewall).

  Is the correct syntax:

sshd <hostname>

to add to /etc/hosts.allow so I can get into my server when I'm not here,
but I have a dhcp-leased IP address?

TIA,

Rich
