Just means that the reverse-DNS entry for the incoming ssh connection
hasn't been configured correctly.

Do I need to worry about these logs?

2004-11-16 Thread Gerard Samuel
This is a fresh install of 5.3 from last week.
Granted the script-kiddies has been working to break in via ssh,
when I was running 4.10, I've never seen these types of logs before.
Any clues, would be appreciated.
Thanks.
