A possible fix for slow SSH connections
After reading through this trying various 'fixes' I said the hell with it (figured apple was playing with more authentication methods than I needed [i.e. rsa/dsa auth only please]) and recompiled ssh. Worked like a charm - ssh is BACK!!
FWIW, I couldn't seem to get or on the server to effect anything from a Mac client. It does work on with other *NIX clients though. I actually believe the client was forcing it, and there isn't any client option to disable it.. This combined with a ton of GSAPI authentication methods was more overhead than I wanted to incur.
Here's what I did: From a Terminal This should result in a configuration that looks like this
Then just make and your off and running..
Then test it using the old method first....
YUCK!!!
Now let's try our new ssh..
Rock on!!
A possible fix for slow SSH connections
I added a few more things..
First, fix /usr/sbin directory..
Then fix the /usr/bin directory..
Then you're all set..
A possible fix for slow SSH connections
There is a very important PROBLEM with the above hint.
While it appears great (and, for the most part works) DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT enter the lines
The idea behind these lines is that we replace the built-in ssh server with the newly built one. Unfortunately, while the newly built ssh server is probably faster than the old one, it suffers from the grievous defect of not working. Who knows what's going on inside it, but it now rejects any passwords it is given. The new server does not work with either the old Apple client or the newly built client.
So the bottom line with this hint is:
(1) Download as above, but check for versions. openssh-4.1p1.tar.gz
has just been released, rather than the 4.0p1 of the hint.
(2) Config, build, install just like above.
(3) Do NOT set up the server links as suggested. Continue to use the Apple supplied /usr/sbin/sshd.
(4) Do set up all the links to change the /usr/bin client apps.

...your suggestion just turns the new ssh installation off.

I noticed that there is no instruction here to change the 'startup items' sshd to the new one... still looking for possible reasons this is not working. Again, any input would be very helpful. Cheers. |
