All, I am beginning to suspect this issue is because ssh isn't resolving names correctly? Timing
ssh myserver from a shell (ALT-CTL-F2) takes about 30 seconds to resolve myserver. However, ssh any_other_server returns immediately. So, why wouldn't myserver resolve quickly? This is true from any of the servers .. they do not resolve their names quickly. On all of them, the local (thin client) /etc/hosts has the form 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.2 ltsp50 192.168.0.254 server where the thin client is lstp50 ... but ... server is not defined in DNS, only in the thin clients /etc/hosts. Logging in at the console for any account also works. This is very very very confusing and unfortunately, come tomorrow morning is going to be a major issue.
