Not sure why a downgraded openssh would improve things for you if this is the issue, however I faced the same issue as yourself and it was caused by mDNS trying to do a reverse lookup on the host connecting in to the affected server, ultimately causing the SSH connection to hang. Check that the order of sources on the hosts line of you /etc/nsswitch.conf[1] file on the server that you are having issues _connecting to_, not the desktop that you're connecting from. Mine is: `hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal mdns4` Note `dns` is before `mdns4`. [1] http://linux.die.net/man/5/nsswitch.conf Joe

The server doesn't have mdns in there, just: hosts: files dns (which hasn't been changed in years, I am quite sure). So you suggest that the contacted server wants to know which FQDN the contacting IP points to? Stefan

Re: [gentoo-user] ssh hanging ... why?
I was saying to chmod 000 it so that you're not picking up (possibly strange?) options. Stefan G.

Re: [gentoo-user] ssh hanging ... why?
did chmod 0600 now. You just made it read+writable by just you - you're running ssh by you, right? I referred to the man page because I thought there would be something I could just quote and learned something Omitted digits are assumed to be leading zeros. which makes sense, as I intuitively knew if I left out the sticky bit, it would be unset but always thought: user, group, everyone else. So, 'chmod 0 config' doesn't look as cluttered and conveys the same meaning :) On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 4:48 PM, Stefan G.
