generic install of 5.1 release. sshd version OpenSSH_3.6.1p1. i have /etc/hosts set up . all systems are "RFC 1597" networks and i do not have a bind server. every connect takes over a minute to complete; using passwords.
(ssh -vv host) stalls at "debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT" looks up address, gets no response, times out and lets me in. ssh server is running w/ "sshd -4 -u0" man sshd "-u0" may also be used to prevent sshd from making DNS requests unless the authentication mechanism or configuration requires it. Authentication mechanisms that may require DNS include RhostsAuthentication, RhostsRSAAuthentication, HostbasedAuthentication changes to sshd_config (on server) PasswordAuthentication yes VerifyReverseMapping no no changes to ssh_config (on client) i have tried all suggestions below and a few more, that i could not find again. http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD-Security/2002-07/11027.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06861.html http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/151/2002/10/0/10045250/ thanks to all jon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
