Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Time delay problem in asking password Post 302693169 by gts1999 on Tuesday 28th of August 2012 08:17:32 PM

Hi, as Bakunin says, DNS would be my first thing to check.
I had an identical problem with ssh only, nslookup was working just fine.
Turned out to be bind Vs bind4 setting in (AIX) resolver order configuration file (netsvc.conf).

Im not sure in Solaris where this order is configured (nsswitch.conf ?), or if there are explicit declarations for bind and bind4.

Worth checking though.

Check out the last comment in this thread for the problem I had.
