Bug#310536: failed reverse resolution is not a breakin attempt per se



Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4
Severity: normal

May 24 08:00:04 gaia sshd[29447]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for
  122.69-93-144.reverse.theplanet.com failed - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT!

You will have to agree with me that this is a little over the top,
no? Plenty of ISPs can't even spell DNS, and I don't see why
a failed reverse lookup can be any indication.
