Charles,

  It means that reverse DNS is not working on that IP/hostname:

<TEST>
root: host 64.58.161.121

121.161.58.64.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer64-58-161-121.cbi.cox-oc.net


root: host 64-58-161-121.cbi.cox-oc.net
Host not found.
</TEST>

EG: the IP maps to the name, but the name does not map back to the IP.


Thanks, it was the sshd bit that was getting me worried...
