The DNS names shouldn't resolve from outside, but I do use an IP to connect to it (i.e. the hostname of the remote host is a local hostname that doesn't resolve on my end, and vice versa). UseDNS no didn't make any difference, but disabling GSSAPI on the client made it quite snappy again. I wonder why GSSAPI slows it down so, :-) Thanks a lot for your help, both of you! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGdYvuwqQbW3my7pcRAiaeAJ41WXlivKPc684BEzmrSIlOnpR7twCfWkmZ RrmC14IwrG0Fqee8dA+1irs= =h2pQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
