|
|
if you've noticed a slowdown in making ssh connections with newer distributions, and if "ssh -v somehost" says something about a missing credentials cache, look in /etc/ssh/ssh_config for | Code: | GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no |
turning them off will speed things up considerably. stick something like this into your ~/.ssh/config file: | Code: | Host *
GSSAPIAuthentication no
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no |
you could change /etc/ssh/ssh_config, but your changes might be overwritten by the next install/upgrade of the openssh-client package.
note that this only speeds up the connection process, not the connection itself. you can make your connection a bit faster on slow links (like dialup) with compression: | Code: | Host *
Compression yes |
