strange ssh problem with dns...
Hello, I receive these messages whenever someone connects to an
ultra10 running linux 2.4.10-pre2
Nov 9 12:06:36 etabeta sshd[766]: Could not reverse map address 172.16.1.9.
Nov 9 12:06:41 etabeta sshd[766]: packet_set_maxsize: setting to 4096
If I try to do a dns query on that machine, it works, and as far as I
can tell, it is configured exactly the same as some other intel-based
machines which do not have this problem.
The relevant versions are:
ii ssh 2.9p2-6 Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH)
ii dnsutils 9.1.3-1 Clients provided with BIND
ii libdns4 9.1.3-1 Shared Library used by BIND
ii libc6 2.2.4-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii libc6-dev 2.2.4-3 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea
ii libc6-dev-spar 2.2.4-3 GNU C Library: 64bit Development Libraries f
ii libc6-pic 2.2.4-3 GNU C Library: PIC archive library
ii libc6-sparc64 2.2.4-3 GNU C Library: 64bit Shared libraries for Ul
I really don't understand why it complains about not being able to
reverse map...
Concerning the second message (packet_set_maxsize), it look like an
informative message I shouldn't worry about, but again, only the
ultra10 spits it...
Any clue?
