I have a bsd machine set up doing dhcp, dns, ppp ,samba & gateway work. (It is a great compliment to freeBSD that it provides *acceptable* service, as it is but a 486). We use private address space (192.168.0.*), and dynamic ip with our ISP. The private network uses a fictional, but sane, Domain name. (Not foo.bar etc) I would like to perminently dump telnet, but SSH only works when the freeBSD box is connected to the internet. Whenever not connected, ssh gives "Authentication timeout" errors. DNS is working within the local network (including reverse). I am assuming that the ssh daemon or clients are requiring an external dns lookup. Do they have to? Can I tell them not to? (I am normally using TerraTerm pro with ssh extensions, although ssh to localhost from the BSD system fails similarly) Thanks Robert Backhaus robert@biz.net.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
