The question is, what could be causing the delay before the password field shows up. Our YDL machines aren't doing this, the password field returns as fast as Putty will allow it. It's version of ssh server is: openssh-server-3.5p1-4 Thanks, Travis _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list Redhat-install-list@redhat.com <A href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list</A> To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: redhat-install-list! -request@redhat.com Subject: unsubscribe </DIV></BODY></HTML>
