ssh is very slow since ubuntu feisty

Can you run ssh with the -vvv option to see where the delay is?

Hello,

Here it is, after the last message, nothing happens.

At the bug https://bugs.beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/84899 are some workarounds. Maybe one of those help.

After testing what is proposet, it didn't work... :'(

You may have firewall, try run iptables -L

What is the results?

These are the results,

thank you!

pqs@quintana:~$ sudo iptables -L
Password:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Try test ssh from another machine, is it same thing?

I don't have another machine,

but I have downloaded the windows version of Putty and run it with wine. This way I can connect with no problems.

Then I saw that there is a putty for linux. So I apt-get installed it and it didn't work, like the standard ssh.

try mv .ssh folder to /opt then try ssh to your server
also give me your log:
sudo tail -50 /var/log/secure

Waleed

I had the same problem.. Heres the fix...

in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, comment out the following lines:

GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no

Logix, it didn't work

Waleed, I haven't tryed yet, I'll try to do what you propose tomorrow

Thank you all.

Pere,
   When running the ssh -vvv, does any particular part of the transaction seem to take more time that the others? Also, it it only establishing the initial connection that is slow, or is the entire session slow?

As a side note, it looks like your ~/.ssh/id_rsa file is invalid or corrupt. You might try moving it out of the way and see if that has any impact.

Good luck :P
