Not really. That seems to remove the "reverse mapping checking failed" messages (assuming there were the usual number of such attempts after I set that option), but IP addresses for failed logins to existing users are never logged. The log contains just: sshd[27912]: Disconnecting: Too many authentication failures for root In contrast, log entries for login attempts with non-existing user names do contain the source IP address: sshd[30576]: Invalid user condor from 62.201.70.8 But this is true on both CentOS 5 and 6, so it's apparently the way OpenSSH decided to do things, and cannot be remedied by the distribution. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany
