Post subject:  [fixed] SSH login delay

I am currently having this problem with R5D1, but it was the same in my old R5A30.2 system

When i SSH in to my mtyh box, i enter a username, and then there is a long delay until it prompts me for a password.

is this a security feature? Can it be turned off??? Its very annoying!

Thanks

You box is probably trying to do reverse DNS on your client machine. If it's a local machine then you can add it's name and IP to /etc/hosts. If it's a remote machine then you may be stuck..
