Hello
Recently I have installed FreeBSD about 10x so far, 11.3 and 12.1, and they both are acting strange. On all the installs besides one (I saved that one) when I ssh (putty) to the BSD box they hang for 15-20s.
11.3 - after I enter 'root' and press enter, it takes 15-20s for sshd to reply with a 'using plain-text password...' prompt.
12.1 - when I 1st putty to the sshd box, it takes 18-22s for sshd to reply with a username prompt. But it does reply quickly after I enter the username.
So they both (besides one box, same brand, same model, same memory) hang but in different places.
In both cases there is something going on I haven't been able to figure out, after 3 days of looking. I wiresharked it all, and on 11.3, I find:
GOOD BOX (<1s)
- ssh client sends ssh-request
- sshd replies with ssh-reply
and so on...
BAD BOX (15-20s)
- client sends ssh-request
- sshd replies with ack but NO ssh-reply for 15-20s
and so on...
Originally i was thinking that sshd is waiting for radius or tacacs to timeout, but I've checked the cfgs between the good PC and all the bad ones (3 PCs different installs) and I find nothing, and I never installed radius. The installs are supposed to be the same.
