I'm dubious about this contention about ssh. windlord:~> time sh -c 'for i in $(seq 1 1000) ; do ssh debuild-i386 true ; done' 10.764u 3.332s 1:52.78 12.4% 0+0k 896+8io 0pf+0w That's with Kerberos authentication. I think you have something misconfigured with ssh or with your DNS (Kerberos is very sensitive to DNS issues). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
