Almost forgot... I already reported this but a few months ago when I was using openSSH 2.9x, it's the same bug. And no - it's not the server end that is stalling me on a revese lookup: 1. I was doing ssh localhost, localhost resolves perfectly, the same for 127.0.0.1 (reverse) 2. ssh -v shows me: debug1: Reading configuration data /usr/local/etc/ssh_config debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 0 geteuid 0 anon 1 And here it is getting stalled, there is no actual connection yet, hence it could not be the end server that stalls me.
