1. machine is behind a firewall,  does a DNS reverse lookup on the
   connection,  and finds that the IP address+hostname does not match.

2. You have a multihomed host and the originating hostname is not
   the same as the one found for the connection.

If you want to see what has to be done to fix this,  look in
gethostname.c and whoop your cookies.

It is NOT a pretty sight.

You might want to think about using PGP authentication if this is a problem.
