            Bug ID: 2545
           Summary: reverse DNS lookups shouldn't block login
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.6p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

sshd currently blocks on doing a reverse DNS lookup during login when
UseDNS is yes.  this normally doesn't present a problem, but broken or
misconfigured resolvers and servers can cause a 20-second penalty to
sshd users.

sshd should do the name resolution in a non-blocking way.
