Same problem with much the same setup (9.10 amd64). SSH login was
taking exactly 60 seconds. Some apps that rely on ssh (FreeNX for
example) were failing due to timeouts. Verbose output of an ssh login
showed that it was pausing for 60 seconds after "Entering interactive
session".
The problem for me was the same as for Andrew (the OP) - an smb/cifs
mount was unavailable. (I could never determine why ssh login was fast
from Windows using Putty - surely Linux ssh couldn't be slower than
Windows... But the smb share from the server was to the Windows box I
was testing from and thus always available when testing.)
The solution, again the same as for Andrew and as described on his
website, was to modify the Message Of The Day (MOTD) script so that it
ignores smb/cifs mounts. Simply add the following to
"/usr/share/pyshared/landscape/lib/disk.py" (after "except ValueError:
continue:")...
if filesystem == "cifs":
continue
There are numerous forum reports about slow ssh login - I wonder how
many are due to the same problem?
