 Does anyone know what this means? Ive looked everywhere on google.com

sshd is performing a reverse DNS query on your (client) hostname.  It is
getting back a different name from the DNS than the client presented.
If you don't have control of the reverse DNS mapping for your host,
you can disable this behaviour by setting `UseDNS no' in 
/etc/sshd/sshd_config and restarting sshd.

The message is defined in /usr/src/crypto/openssh/canohost.c

Check your DNS configuration, or run sshd with debugging enabled to
try to find more information.

 If I were you I would have tried to reinstall it.

That would be one option..something has clearly gone wrong with his
upgrade; one should not have to work around mysterious problems by
editing a few make files etc if one is following the upgrade
directions properly, and it's likely that this is also the cause of
the sshd problems.
