After reading more about UseDNS, the more pertinent issue is what is the point of it at all if a false IP for the hostname is still accepted as a valid connection.
Also, why is there no setting to make it timeout after a certain number of seconds (aka, what if the DNS request didn't time out for a minute, as some on the web are finding)? There should be a setting to force a DNS timeout. -- Logins to OpenSSH server slow due to "UseDNS yes" config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424371 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
