Fred Mora’s tip about GSS config did the trick for me on Ubuntu 11.10, thanks!

Thanks, setting “UseDNS no“ works on my Ubuntu Server 10.04.

On Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), I had a similar problem. I found out that the /etc/ssh/ssh_config (config file for the ssh client) was overriding the defaults with

GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no

I commented out these two lines. Now ssh is not waiting for GSS anymore and the login speed is back to normal.

Thanx, your saved post saved me some hours of trying to find the reason myself.
