I have my local machines listed in the /etc/hosts file of my internal
caching only DNS server. My internal DNS works wonderfully and I don't
believe it has anything to do with my problem.
It takes roughly three minuets to be prompted for a username, another
two minuets or so to be prompted for a password, and another couple of
minuets to log into the machine after entering the password. I'd say it
takes a total of nearly six minuets to log onto the machine from my local
network. Has anyone seen symptoms of this before? The weird thing as I
stated before is that immediately after a reboot I have no problems ssh'ing
to the box.
Today I also found the following in my /var/log/messages:
Feb 28 15:46:40 blue sshd[11039]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection
res
et by peer
I almost think something is wrong with the sshd daemon.
Thanks for the response,
John Hines
