I wonder if sshd is ignoring UseDNS when trying host-based authentication. The default for UseDNS is listed as 'no' in the man page but even when I set it explicitly to 'no', sshd still seems to perform a lookup on the incoming client.[1] Host-based authentication then fails if the lookup fails. This is from a recent snapshot.[2]
Is this the expected behavior for host-based authentication?
