[OpenIndiana-discuss] DNS reverse resolution for SSH and 'last'?

[Bob Friesenhahn]

On an OpenIndiana host (oi_151a4) which receives its interface 
configuration via dhcp and is using svc:/network/physical:nwam, I am 
finding that /etc/hosts.equiv requires absolute IP addresses in order 
to work, and that the output of 'last -a' only includes absolute IP 
addresses rather than DNS names like on my Solaris 10 system.

The sshd_config manual page says that LookupClientHostnames still 
defaults to yes.

My /etc/nsswitch.conf is identical to /etc/nsswitch.dns

It seems that the ssh login processing is not doing any reverse DNS 
resolution even though reverse DNS on those same hosts is working 
fine.  Why is this and how do I re-enable it?
