The hostname given by the client does not match the one given by the client in host-based authentication

Client gave us a hostname (<hostname>) which doesn't match the one we got from DNS (<hostname>) (sending failure)

The server has been configured to use strict hostname checking and the hostname obtained using reverse DNS lookup does not match the one in the host-based authentication packet.

Facility: SSH_LOGFACILITY_AUTH

Level: SSH_LOG_WARNING

The hostname given by client does not match the one given by the client in host-based authentication, ignored

Client gave us a hostname (<hostname>) which doesn't match the one we got from DNS (<hostname>) (trusting that client is valid, if signature verification succeeds)

The hostname obtained using reverse DNS lookup does not match the one in the host-based authentication packet, but the server does not require a match.
