i think u have missed read the nslookup result.

$ nslookup localhost
Non-authoritative answer:
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.1.1:53

Name:    localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

the 192.168.1.1:53 is my DHCP DNS/gateway.
it has correctly resolved localhost to 127.0.0.1

i managed to get it to work by modifying the hosts.allow by changing the
following line
from
ALL : PARANOID : deny
to
ALL : LOCAL : deny

removed the PARANOID checks for mismatched name to IP.

it doesnt solve why the sshd is getting the wrong ip for localhost.

any ideas most welcome
