Solution for slow SSH login in CentOS 6 Print

If SSH login is very slow in CentOS 6 it’s because they have added another security feature, the SSH server will do a reverse DNS again for any incoming connection, this will delay connection up to 13 seconds, to avoid this:

1. Access the server

2. Edit the ssh config

Nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

3. Look for use dns and change it to no

Ctrl +w, usedns, enter

Change it from

#useDNS yes

useDNS no

4. Save and close

Ctrl + X, Y, enter

5. Restart the sshd service

Service sshd restart
