By the way, there is a line in /etc/ssh/ssh_config that reads: # GSSAPIAuthentication no
and another line that reads: GSSAPIAuthentication yes Obviously someone added the "GSSAPIAuthentication yes" when default is "no." Since commenting the line with "yes" fixed my problem (~10-15 sec vs. ~0-1 sec for login) I think the default should be restored. This is such an easy fix, I am amazed the problem is still around with Lucid (not that there isn't some underlying problem that isn't an easy fix). Why not default to "no?" -- SSH with GSSAPIAuthentication option on SSH servers are very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84899 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
