Hello. I've recently switched to OpenSSH from the other ssh's. When I ssh into to a box one at a time, it works fine. However when I want to connect 4 times quickly, none of them ever connect. ie: Doing this four times: xterm -e connect-to-box1 & ssh -v shows the following: It gets to this part on EACH terminal and it hangs forever. ssh -v -l war thebox.com OpenSSH_2.9.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f debug1: Reading configuration data /app/openssh-2.9.9p2/etc/ssh_config debug1: Reading configuration data /home/war/.ssh/config debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 0 anon 1 debug1: Connecting to x-ceed.net [64.249.166.242] port 22. debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/500 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/500 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug1: Connection established. debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: identity file /home/war/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/war/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/war/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 It will sit here until the process is killed. However if I do one at a time, it works fine! Any idea? I've tried all sorts of options in my ~/.ssh/config. No luck yet.
