It's not reverse lookups.  I see in the logs that the reverse lookup is 
working.  I watched during a verbose output of the client (and watching the 
log on the server side) when reverse lookup occurs.  I see that reverse 
lookup occurs just after the client enters their username and presses 
enter.  The problem I'm seeing occurs *after* the user puts his/her 
password in *after* the lookup has already successfully occurred.  It is 
something else.  Unless you can explain to me what other reverse lookup it 
seems to be doing after it has already successfully looked up the ptr.
