I added a hosts entry and that fixed the slow login part. Now my ssh logins are ultra fast like they used to be with Mandriva. Also, aren't we talking about reverse-DNS lookups here? The hosts I have that are logging in and that are using remote logging, are in my local domain. So reverse lookups will fail.
Anyway, it appears that at some point something happens that makes the lookup stall, and that stalls sysklogd which means anyone that blocks on a write to syslog can't continue. Or so it would appear. I can't be sure this fixes the total stall yet. -- Remote syslog logging paralyzes system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
