taking long time to login on linux server

[manoj.linux]

Hi,

I am trying to login using ssh on Red Hat Linux 5 server,

The password appears immediately but after I enter the password it takes about 1 Minute to login completely.



Regards,

Manoj

most of the time when I see problems like this its dns related. when you log in it usually tries to reverse your ip, and while its waiting on that it just stalls. to test you could add your ip to the linux hosts file so dns is skipped and see if that helps.

otherwise, is anything showing up in the logs?

Check and see whether or not you have "files" as the first option in your /etc/nsswitch.conf
