I actually removed the resolver code from login(1) in my PAMification patches, so if you pass an IP address on the command line it won't do a reverse lookup anymore (though maybe it should always do a *forward* lookup, and pass the numeric form to PAM). PAM modules don't care; those that specifically need an IP address should obtain it with getaddrinfo().
