SSH question

[Lopez, Denise]

Hi all,

 

I am in a mixed environment and I have 2 admins that connect to my RHEL
AS4 machines using windows.  In their windows setup, there is a setting
"Register this connections addresses in DNS" which registers the
computer name to the IP address.  

 

For my Linux system there is no such setting that I am aware of. I have
SSH configures so that each admin can only SSH to the server from their
administrative desktop IP address. So in the sshd_config file I have 
denise at 192.168.1.1.  

 

My question is this:  For the admins running windows sometimes I need to
add the DNS name in addition to the IP address in the sshd_config file.

 

Does anyone know why that is?  Also I wonder if I had an entry in DNS
for my Linux system if I would need the additional entry as well.

 

Thanks in advance.
