SSH Slow Login

At times, while trying to login to a remote machine using SSH , after entering

ssh username@ipaddress

we might have to wait for ages to make the terminal prompt fot the password.

This can be rectified by doing the following


Open  /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Comment out the following lines


'GSSAPIAuthentication yes’  
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no’



Now try using ssh.  The delay wont happen again.
