[Bug 416264] Re: ssh client pauses during GSS negotiation due to delay on reverse lookup in avahi

[Jakob Unterwurzacher]

** Description changed:

- When I try to connect to an ssh server (with ssh -v) I always have (my
- system is an Ubuntu 8.04):
+ === WORKAROUND ===
+ From http://www.walkernews.net/2009/04/06/how-to-fix-scp-and-ssh-login-prompt-is-very-slow-in-linux/ for more detail look there
+ 
+ 1) Specify the option to disable GSSAPI authentication when using SSH or SCP command, e.g.:
+ ssh -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no appssupp at 10.50.100.111
+ 
+ -OR-
+ 
+ 2) Explicitly disable GSSAPI authentication in SSH client program configuration file, i.e. edit the /etc/ssh/ssh_config and add in this configuration (if it’s not already in the config file):
+ GSSAPIAuthentication no
+ 
+ -OR-
+ 
+ 3) Like 2 but in your private ssh config
+ Edit /home/YOURUSERNAME/.ssh/config and add
+ GSSAPIAuthentication no
+ 
+ === BUG ===
+ When I try to connect to an ssh server (with ssh -v) I always have (my system is an Ubuntu 8.04):
  
  debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic
  debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
  No credentials cache found

- The fact is that on many servers the establishment of ssh connection is very slow because of this issue.
