Re: sshd

I'd guess that you're machine isn't able to do a reverse name lookup on
the box you're coming from.  Assuming this is the case, two options
come to mind:

1) Add an entry in /etc/hosts for the client machine.  This is only
practical if it has a static IP address.

2) Modify /etc/hosts.deny, and change the "ALL: PARANOID" entry
(assuming it exists) to "ALL EXCEPT sshd: PARANOID".

Hope this helps!
