I've just installed FreeBSD 10 on one of my machines and I've been experiencing very slow speeds connecting to my machine through ssh for the initial connection. Here is some more info:
From my Macbook Air I try to connect to FreeBSD using
in sshd_config but that made no difference for me.
- The network is mostly composed of Mac OS X machines and a bunch of linux boxes, everything uses mdns(Bonjour and Avahi) for host resolution. IP and DNS server is set via DHCP.
- DNS points to ASUS router
- FreeBSD machine has avahi and nss_mdns installed and configured. mdns was added to nsswitch.conf after files
- FreeBSD machine can ping itself or any host via hostname and hostname.local. All machines on the network can ping the FreeBSD machine likewise
From my Macbook Air I try to connect to FreeBSD using
ssh hostname
is almost instantaneous, but attempting ssh hostname.local
is extremely slow by comparison. Any ideas on what is going on? While searching through the forums, there was a suggestion to also use
Code:
useDNS=false
