ssh delay (60 seconds) between username and password

[stephanelefou]

Hi,
When I connect to my FreeBSD box using PuttY, there is a 60 second (exactly) delay between the prompt for username and password. Put simply, the connection starts okay and I get the "login as" prompt where I type in my username, then, a 60 second delay before the prompt for the password. What could cause this and how do I fix it?

Thank you.

Make sure the FreeBSD machine is able to reverse resolve the IP address back to a hostname. That's usually the cause of the delay.

Would that be a setting in the hosts.allow file?

No, it's to do with DNS resolving. Make sure you have a proper /etc/resolv.conf.

I tried something but not sure if it's correct.

My /etc/resolv.conf files reads follows:

domain  net
nameserver      192.168.0.1
m2a-vm          192.168.0.101

with m2a-vm being the computer accessing my server (192.168.0.100).

The delay is still there.

Попробуй: Try:

nameserver      192.168.0.1
nameserver      192.168.0.101

Tак же в ssh[d] есть такое: Make sure this is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

UseDNS no

UseDNS no

It didn't work.

The UseDNS no did the trick! Thanks :beer
