Logcheck devel - Oct 2007 - Bug#445074: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/ssh: Nasty PTR record

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.62
Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/ssh

openssh issues a friendly warning when the remote IP maps back to a
hostname that looks just like an IP address.  (For example, the address
206.251.174.31 currently maps back to the hostname "206.251.174.31".)

Here's a rule that filters out these unimportant messages:

  ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ sshd\[[0-9]+\]: Nasty PTR record
"[:[:xdigit:].]+" is set up for [:[:xdigit:].]+, ignoring$
