Fix Slow SSH login time

Submitted by shane on Thu, 2010-02-11 09:20

Interesting that since moving to a new ISP my login times to a particular Linux server is 20-30 seconds. I figured it had to do with reverse DNS somehow. Sure enough....

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

UseDNS no

That made the logins quick again and that makes me HAPPY!
