Public bug reported:
I am using a Ubuntu Intrepid 32 bit server with all latest patches.
Logging on via ssh (USING KEYS) is incredibly, painfully slow.
I have done some investigation.
1. Slowness is mild after a reboot and, as time goes on, it becomes
progressively slower and sloowweerr and ssslllooowwweeerrrr.
2. If I run ssh -v, then I can see that the ssh process is stuck for
many seconds after saying "entering interactive session".
3. This even happens if I do, from that server, a command "ssh
localhost".
4. Disabling GSSAPI authentication, as well as saying "UseDNS no", in
sshd_config, does not help.
5. A similar problems applies to use of "su" and can be more easily
debugged. If, as root, I say "su - <username> date", it is also
incredibly slow. If I debug that with
strace -o q -f su - <myuserid> date
then I see that su tries to connect to UNIX socket
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket, and then it is stuck doing poll(),
which remains <unfinished>. Not sure if it is related, but it could be.
