I have router and a home network. If I use ssh to access my 6.4 SuSE linux box with an external address, the messages log is ok. If I use ssh to access the Linux box from with in the network, I get the following message in /var/log/messages: Apr 16 00:40:29 linux166 sshd[282]: log: Address 192.168.1.100 maps to delltower, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT! I have the following entry in the /etc/hosts: 192.168.1.100 delltower Can anyone help me understand how this does not map back works, or a way to fix it so I don't get this breakin attempt. That way a real breakin attempt will catch my attention. Thanks Mark Condic
