I'm using putty from windows to login, and I didn't see an option for ipv4 only. Also, this just started last week, so there must be a way to fix this. It does it when I do "su" also, so ipv4 wouldn't solve the "su" part of it. It's something to do with the password lookup I think. The login prompt comes right up, but after I enter the password it takes forever. -Josh -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Kent Schumacher Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 9:52 AM To: TCLUG Mailing List Subject: Re: [TCLUG] authentication (logon) takes forever Erik Anderson wrote: > Josh Close wrote: > >> When I ssh into my pass and put in my password, it takes like 1-2 >> minutes to >> verify it.

I haven't researched why this works, I only know that occasionally this fixes this specific problem. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
