It seems it's in `/etc/sshd_config' On Linux, it's in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config' After you make the change, you'll need to reload the daemon. In Linux, it'd be `/etc/init.d/sshd reload' I don't know if Solaris' `sshd' start/stop script understands the `reload' argument. If not, simply start/stop. > And I don't see how the VM's host name is involved since I'm > connecting to localhost:2222, When you connect to a `sshd', if UseDNS is set, `sshd' will attempt to authenticate by also using the incoming machine's host name. If DNS isn't configured (properly) on the sshd machine, you'll get timeouts which manifest themselves as long log in times from the client. For example, if my host is named `foo' and the guest is named `bar' If foo's DNS is horked and UseDNS is set in foo's sshd_config file, when `bar' (or any other client) attempts to log in to `foo', you'll get the long log in times. It's a quick test so give it a whirl.
