[gentoo-user] Suddenly, ssh is slow to connect

2006-05-04 Thread Kevin O'Gorman
In the last few days, connection takes a minute or so to my gentoo box.
It used to be no longer than a namespace lookup. It's not TCP, I think,
because connecting to apache is fast and my web pages bet served
as usual.

What happened to sshd???-- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

is UseDNS set to yes?  maybe that value changed, or for whatever reason your 
looksup are no longer working.  sounds like a dns timeout.

Hmmm. I'll look, but I did just change domain registrars. Maybe I've got a sluggish

nameserver. But then, why would it continue to be slow when I do it a second time --

doesn't anybody cache resolutions any more?



Anyway, this gives me some stuff to look at.

sometimes my isp gives me a bad or stale dns server on dhcpnot often, but 
sometimes...go in and restart networking, and it fixes.

--UseDNS is on for ssh, not for ssh2 (where it does not even appear)

I found that one of the nameservers for my domain was down, and it was listed early.
I've edited the zone file; I'll see what happens when the change propagates to the
universe.
