Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to help me. I have bind setup to host our domain (eg. example.com) with two servers on the network (servera and serverb). When I try to slogin to serverb using serverb.example.com the response is quick and works fine, however, if i try using just serverb as the address, the response is slow. If I run slogin -v -v serverb it pauses just after: debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 my /etc/resolv.conf is as follows: search example.com nameserver 192.168.1.20 nameserver 192.168.1.21 I can ping serverb and serverb.example.com without a problem. DNS forward and reverse lookups don't seem to be a problem either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ben.
