Hi List;
I have a machine I want to ssh to with no passwd. I've done this on my local
fedora 7 box:
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f .ssh/id_dsa
$ cd .ssh
$ scp id_dsa.pub user@remote:~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
Then I connected to the remote box and did this:
$ ssh user@remote
[remote-box] $ cd .ssh
[remote-box] $ cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
[remote-box] $ chmod 640 authorized_keys2
[remote-box] $ rm id_dsa.pub
[remote-box] $ exit
The scp took like 5min
Then I try and connect like this (remote box is 172.16.128.128) :
$ ssh -v 172.16.128.128
and I get this:
OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006

At this point ssh hangs for like 4 or 5 minutes, then I get this:
debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).

Then it hangs again for another 2 - 3 minutes and finally I get a prompt.
the remote box is a windows XP box in vmware on my local fedora box running
cygwin
Any thoughts?
Almost a certainty that is a DNS issue. Whenever ssh hangs like that
with no error, it is almost always is DNS on the system you are trying
to log into.
ssh tries very hard to be a good citizen and allow updates to utmp
and wxtmp databases, which require FQDNS names.
You can tell quite simply if this is the case.
After the LONG pause to get logged in, do:
$ w
or
$ who
That is the old BSD style who program, that by default shows
the host name for remote logins. If your session lists the IP Address
instead of the host name, you know for sure that the DNS reverse name
lookup for that login session failed.
Most DNS failures for ssh are set at about 120 seconds by default.
Good Luck!
