Try adding your clients to /etc/hosts such as :
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.2 mylinuxbox
192.168.0.1 bob
I always have this when I tail my logs , such as :
Jan 12 02:58:19 skol sshd2[515]: connection from "10.10.99.2"
Jan 12 02:58:19 skol sshd2[8770]: DNS lookup failed for "10.10.99.2".
Jan 12 02:58:19 skol sshd2[8770]: User skol's local password accepted.
Jan 12 02:58:19 skol sshd2[8770]: Password authentication for user skol
accepted.
Jan 12 02:58:19 skol sshd2[8770]: User skol, coming from 10.10.99.2,
authenticated
Although im running SSH2, I still got this with SSH1, and with SSH1 it would
take a bit.....SSH2 is never slow...so I'm not sure where the problem lies.
I think you can turn DNS host lookups off.....
