Randy,
I think your on to something. My auth.log reveals the following for SSH and FTP
authentication:
Jun 24 13:26:12 Nemesis sshd[24448]: Accepted password for david from 66.76.72.50 port
1026
Jun 24 13:26:12 Nemesis sshd[24448]: Could not reverse map address 66.76.72.50.
Jun 24 13:26:12 Nemesis PAM_unix[24448]: (system-auth) session opened for user david by
(uid=0)
Jun 24 13:29:14 Nemesis PAM_unix[24448]: (system-auth) session closed for user david
Jun 24 13:29:29 Nemesis xinetd[27314]: START: ftp pid=24469 from=66.76.72.50
Jun 24 13:31:24 Nemesis xinetd[27314]: EXIT: ftp pid=24469 duration=115(sec)
sshd can't reverse map the 66.76.72.50 IP that I have at home? That seems really
strange,
because I CAN do reverse lookups of other addresses. Any thoughts on why nslookup
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx would yield good results on some addresses and not on others?
