Package: openssh-server Version: 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I used the 'from' field in authorized_keys with an hostname (fqdn) on Debian 8 (jessie), which worked fine (openssh-server 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u3). After upgrading the server to stretch, this does not work anymore. Putting an IP address in this field works however. This also does not work with current openssh-server in sid (1:7.5p1-5). In every case it was a hostname correctly resolvable by DNS, forward and backwards to one IPv4 address. Client has still been on jessie in both cases. The log message on the ssh server when failing is more or less misleading: Jul 27 13:39:16 susan sshd[9562]: Authentication tried for alex with correct key but not from a permitted host (host=192.168.243.98, ip=192.168.243.98).
