[Bug 84899] Re: SSH with GSSAPIAuthentication option on SSH servers are very slow

[Helge]

Is there any change the default configuration could be changed to accommodate this?
Those of our users running e.g. Ubuntu (12.04) experience this frustratingly long delay, and just assume it's our servers being very slow.
Luckily, our Linux-users are generally more computer savvy than others, so telling them to edit a configuration file is normally not a problem.

Title:
  SSH with GSSAPIAuthentication option on SSH servers are very slow

Status in Portable OpenSSH:
  New
Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “openssh” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openssh-client

  In Feisty Fawn I noticed a very slow ssh connection to some local servers, the prompt login takes 5/6 seconds to appear.
  I solved this problem putting the option "GSSAPIAuthentication no" instead "yes" in the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file.

  SSH Version is 4.3p2-7ubuntu1
