it takes long time to login on server

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 90 seconds to login completely.

Please suggest what changes require?

Regards,

Manoj

Without more details, my first guess would be problems with your automounter or a bad local file system...

As far as I know, SSH tries to do a reverse lookup of your IP. If there is none, it'll wait until the request to the DNS server times out.

Is there anything logged in /var/log/messages?

Put output here:

ssh -vv "you@IP"
