When I try to SSH to a machine on my LAN when its Internet connection is down I get the following: OpenSSH_3.9p1 Debian-1ubuntu2, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * <snip> debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive <a couple of minutes of nothing> Connection closed by 82.71.120.78 In the remote machines /var/log/auth.log I see: Aug 25 10:37:10 bollo sshd[465]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 82.71.120.74 The resolv.conf on the remote machine has a single entry which points to the machine itself which is running dnscache. Any ideas? Could this be construed as being a bug? Please CC me on any replies. Thanks. Simon
