[Bug 84899] Re: SSH with GSSAPIAuthentication option on SSH servers are very slow

 

I confirm this problem in Ubuntu 10.10. I experienced the exact symptoms
as described in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/416264, but I
think the bug belongs to #84899.

Ubuntu uses the Debian package, as shown at the top of the attached file (personal information removed):
OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-4ubuntu4, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010

The remote server is running Red Hat, which has /etc/ssh/ssh_config
with: GSSAPIAuthentication Yes

I have no access to modify the remote server's files. So, I think the
problem is bigger than just Debian.

I created a user ~/.ssh/config file to contain:
GSSAPIAuthentication no

The work-around fixes the problem, access is very fast.

("cat /proc/version" will display the distro name, "uname -a" does not
display the distro name.)

** Attachment added: "ssh -v showing authentication problem."
