On my fairly typical 4.1.1-R install, I was using the supplied sshd happily until just recently. I'm not sure what changed, but after a reboot, sshd would work fine for a while and then suddenly stop accepting logins. You'd connect, get the password prompt, supply your password, and then it would just hang forever. The message in syslog is: Oct 15 10:51:33 cluttered sshd[1886]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 64.208.42.22. This happened regardless of what SSH client I would use to connect. I managed to get around it by installing the latest OpenSSH from source, but I'm curious to know if this is a known problem and/or if there is any fix for it. -jsd- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
