Yes, I changed the hostname in rc.conf and did this thing I saw to do in the book: hostname -s new.host.name (whatever that's for). 2 weeks ago when I first changed the hostname, and the hesitation began, I guessed that letting it rebuild the key and .pub files might fix this but it didn't. I know I did it correctly because I didn't rm them I mvd them to a subdirectory and they're still there. I just followed your advice and rmd them and rebooted. THE first time I logged in from a remote machine with ssh it was instantaneous. Because I had moved the key and .pub files before with no luck I was suspicious. This suspicion led to my logging off and on a few more times. The hesitation is back. It was only fast the first time after rm-ing the files. I tried it again but it was slow from the get-go. Every logon now is slow again. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
