Hi, this is my first attempt at posting to one of these mailing lists, so please forgive me if I have not included enough information or if this has already been covered (I've looked!).
I'm running a server at a school for the purpose of providing internal apache http access, and have come across a couple of problems. Both sshd, and proftpd are very slow to respond. I've noticed this in sshd under debian on previous versions and machines also. Sshd asks for a username almost immediately when I connect, but there is a substantial time before it asks for a password. Proftpd also has a significant delay before responding to login information. I'm not sure where to look for logs regarding these events, as nothing relevant seems to be in /var/log/auth.log. Is this a common problem? I'm using default configurations where possible, and have not changed anything regarding authentication. Is there a likely problem in getting passwords on my machine? If you can suggest either a solution, or somewhere I can begin to find out whats wrong, please let me know. Thanks, James
