I'm having an a slow connection establishement issue with PuTTY :
> time.exe plink.exe -no-antispoof root@X.Y.Z.T exit root@X.Y.Z.T's password:
real 0m 10.80s
user 0m 0.01s
sys 0m 0.06s
But not with OpenSSH :
> time.exe ssh.exe root@X.Y.Z.T exit root@X.Y.Z.T's password:
real 0m 0.94s
user 0m 0.03s
sys 0m 0.06s
And here is the UseDNS value :
> ssh root@X.Y.Z.T grep UseDNS /etc/ssh/sshd_config
root@X.Y.Z.T's password:
#UseDNS yes
UseDNS no
Now with plink -v :
> time.exe plink.exe -no-antispoof -v root@X.Y.Z.T exit Looking up host "X.Y.Z.T" for SSH connection

EDIT0 : Fixing the nameserver(s) in /etc/resolv.conf on the sshd server side fixed the 10 seconds SSH connection establishment delay.
