sshd is performing a reverse DNS query on your (client) hostname.  It is
getting back a different name from the DNS than the client presented.
If you don't have control of the reverse DNS mapping for your host,
you can disable this behaviour by setting `UseDNS no' in=20
/etc/sshd/sshd_config and restarting sshd.

The message is defined in /usr/src/crypto/openssh/canohost.c=20
