I have a RH AS 3 U4 system. (Dell 2650, 2x3.00 Ghz, 6gb RAM). When I ssh to several Solaris 8/9 systems from this box I get about a 5 second delay before connecting, however, a solaris system on the same network as this AS3 box has less than a second connection overhead: Note: I am using trusted keys and ssh proto version 2. <solaris9host>:~ #time ssh myserver1 uptime 12:15pm up 17 day(s), 7:10, 4 users, load average: 1.23, 1.29, 1.47 real 0m0.612s user 0m0.150s sys 0m0.020s <redhatas3host>: time ssh myserver1 uptime 12:15pm up 17 day(s), 7:11, 4 users, load average: 1.25, 1.29, 1.46 real 0m6.675s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.000s It is not DNS related, DNS lookups are also subsecond, but to be sure I configured the sshd daemon on all systems to not use DNS. I then made sure all the host names are in each system's host file. The ssh_config file on both client systems are identical. The sshd server these clients are connecting to is this version: OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 I remember this problem several years ago and can't remember the cause now. Anyone have any ideas? Here is the kernel version of the redhat client that is slow to connect: Linux <redhatas3host> 2.4.21-27.0.2.1.7.ELhugemem #1 SMP Mon May 16 16:27:47 PDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Thanks, CC -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
