Why sshd makes a PTR dns request after receiving user's name ?

Hello When sshd has received the username of a linux user from a SSH client, it look likes it send a PTR request on the client's IP. for example, if 192.168.56.106 start a connection on a sshd server running on 192.168.56.1, this machine will send a PTR request on 105.56.168.192.in-addr.arpa jus
