How is your name service set up? If you don't have a local name server or all hosts on your local LAN in /etc/hosts, you might get symptoms like these, since sshd (for example) has the annoying habit of always doing a reverse lookup on the peer address. The lookup should eventually time out, and you might be able to log in, but it will take a minute or two. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
