this is an DNS problem.  its trying to lookup the address of the host that is 
connecting to it.  you can turn these off in /etc/ssh/sshd_config or ensure that 
you're comning from somewhere that has a valid DNS assocaited and update 
/etc/resolv.conf with a valid nameserver for lookups.

if you're using a local connection, you can also use /etc/hosts
