alert omg alert!
I upgraded my server running FreeBSD 4.9 to 5.3-STABLE a few weeks ago. The nightly security email logs failed ssh login attempts, and I usually get a nice big list showing some douchebag trying to bruteforce the root login. After I upgraded, I noticed that they changed the warning message.
Dec 28 08:18:17 sshd[59651]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hyllyperse.net failed - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT!
POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT! OH NO!
I love overzealous alert messages.
