Re: Slow SSH responses from server
On Thu, 15 Feb 2001 21:03:45 -0600, sc whispered to the router:
!!
!! For some reason, it's taking 30+ seconds to SSH into a server that's
!! powering a small LAN to respond to my SSH attempts with the UserID and
!! password prompt. I don't really remember it taking this long before,
!! but I'm not sure. Takes a decent amount of time to respond even after
I
!! type in the userID and password. Once I get in, the response times
from
!! the server are fine. Anybody else having this sort of problem?

i think it's because your server isn't generating enough entropy. enter
random commands at the keyboard somtime. do ls -lahR / that should
get you enough randomness to last for awhile.
course, i could be wrong, but that's my guess.
