How to stop SSH doing reverse lookup?
I need to ssh into my machine from a certain computer and I always get
a "No further authorization methods available" response. I can get to
my machine from other places, but I noticed this in my auth.log after
one time I tried to get in from Computer X:
Apr 1 08:32:28 localhost sshd[25266]: reverse mapping checking
getaddrinfo for <ComputerX hostname> failed - POSSIBLE BREAKIN
ATTEMPT!
Now, I get the point of this, but I'd like to be able to turn it off,
at least for this machine. So far I've tried:
putting SSH: <ComputerX hostname> in hosts.allow
putting ALL: <ComputerX hostname> in hosts.allow
the same for ComputerX's static IP
putting "ReverseMappingCheck no" in my sshd_config (got a log message
saying that had been deprecated)
Can anyone think of any other suggestions?
