I've noticed a different problem with openssh:
Whenever I connect to a system that's listed in my /etc/hosts,
a DNS lookup is _still_ done.
(nsswitch.conf has "files dns", so that's not the problem)
Normally not a problem. However, I have the following situation:
ISDN dialup to work, and an ISDN dialup to the internet. I have
the relevant systems at work listed in my /etc/hosts, so I can
simply do "ssh foo" to get a shell on machine foo at work (the dialup
to work is in autodial mode, so transparent).
However, since installing openssh, a dialup to the internet via my ISP
is also triggered, by the DNS lookup that ssh does. I have no idea why
this is. I've even tried putting "CheckHostIP no" and
"StrictHostKeyChecking no" in ssh_config, to no avail.
This costs real money here in Europe, besides the fact that I don't have
a spare channel for voice calls at that time. It doesn't happen if I use
telnet instead of ssh, so the setup is basically OK; ssh has a
problem...
