ssh startup fails

[Nils Radtke]

	Hello all :)


 While trying to bind to 0.0.0.0 having lo0, eth0 and ippp0 up no matter
whether on- or offline, i get this:

sshd[4518]: error: getnameinfo failed
sshd[4518]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.

It seems sshd tries to get reverse-resolved the ippp0's address. Is
there a configuraiotn fault on my behalf? Did i misunderstand the way
sshd works?

Shouldn't sshd rather not rely on what nameserver say? 

I wonder why asks for an ns query at all..

I'd have expected sshd to bind to any ifaces, whatever ip belongs to the
resp. ifaces.. :) (at least with ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 in
/etc/sshd_config)

Another Q regarding the --with-ipaddr-display flag to configure, this
doesn't work for me even the patch applied that came through on this
list.

Some postings ago i saw a configuration keyword like host and so on,
where are these keywords documented? 

	sincerely,

		Nils
