You are correct the fix I implemented was a work around but at the same time I had no need for reverse DSN lookup.
At any rate I made the requested changes to /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files dns I also commented out the following lines in /etc/ssh/sshd_config LoginGraceTime 20 useDNS no This corrected my problem, it would seem based on your description however that my problem was really a symptom of the problem. There is now a slight pause (approx 3-4 sec) after the password is entered before ssh displays /etc/motd, is this due to the system checking what is specified in the hosts: files dns line in /etc/nsswitch.conf Thanks again for the help. (looking back on it I specified the LoginGraceTime value based on a Debian system hardening website/walk through ....thoughts?) -- (bash) ssh to other systems fails to connect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
