I'm moving myself and a computer running sshd from one household to another. The computer is unchanged. With it in the first location I was able to connect to sshd from my ISP. In the second I cannot.
The first had a Bering 1.0 router attached to an ATT cable modem. The second has a Bering uClib 1.1 router attached to a DSL modem running pppoe. This system basically works, including forwarding port 8080 to apache running on the same machine as the sshd server. The firewall seems to be doing its job carrying out this rule: DNAT net loc:192.168.1.2 tcp ssh in that the connection attempt is forwarded to the server inside the firewall. The server, however, rejects the attempt with this entry in the auth.log: [sshd] Could not reverse map address <address of my ISP>. I'd suspect a sshd configuration problem if it weren't for the fact that this machine worked perfectly in the other location and is unchanged. Instead I wonder if there's something wrong with my dns setup, or with dns on Bering uClib. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? BTW, dig -x <address of my ISP> (same address as couldn't be reverse mapped) works just fine from the commandline on the machine in question. So basic DNS is working. Just not for sshd.
