 FreeBSD uses a local patch which calls realhostname_sa in construct_utmp 
 (loginrec.c line 691) which is done regardless of the UseDNS or -u0 
 settings.  The default OpenSSH behaviour is to call 
 get_remote_name_or_ip in session.c, passing in the utmp_len and use_dns 
 values; construct_utmp then just copies the string into the utmp 
 structure instead of doing a DNS lookup itself.  Rev 1.2 of loginrec.c 
 changed this in FreeBSD to avoid overflowing the utmp record.
