When I issue the command to ssh into it: $ ssh aa there is a 30 second delay before I get the password prompt. I tried deleting the appropriate line in ~/.ssh/known-hosts and trying it again, but I still got a 30 second delay before I got this message: The authenticity of host 'aa (10.1.5.93)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is <a:long:hex:number>. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'aa,10.1.5.93' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. This is what the log looks like during this time: Oct 5 14:52:30 aa xinetd[3098]: START: ssh pid=23524 from=10.1.5.58 Oct 5 18:53:12 aa sshd[23567]: Accepted password for bjt from 10.1.5.58 port 32818 ssh2 Oct 5 14:53:12 aa sshd[23524]: Accepted password for bjt from 10.1.5.58 port 32818 ssh2 Notice the 42 second time delay. The first line appeared in the log just after I send the "ssh aa" command. I must have done something to make the system delay after receiving the connection request, but I can't imagine what. Googling turned up nothing for me. Any ideas?
