I saw 30s delay when doing remote commands (don't blame me, I haven't the choice now) between ~ 200 servers with slow links (75kb/s), and 4 DNS. When a server do a remote command on an other, if its position in the hosts.equiv is deep, and the DNS is not on the target LAN, it is slow. Having done a tcpdump on the target, I saw numerous DNS requests. In fact, the problem is that the names in hosts.equiv are resolved to IPs. In the function __checkhost() (file pam_rhosts.c) But Why ? We have both names, and we could compare them... Is there a good reason to compare IPs ? It looks like it's done like this on SCO OpenServer and HP-UX. Yahoo! Mail : votre e-mail personnel et gratuit qui vous suit partout ! Créez votre Yahoo!
