Slightly off-topic: Is anybody suffering 20s delays with Savannah?

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hi, all!

For some time now, at each CVS operation I attempt at Savannah, there
has been a 20+epsilon second delay between me hitting <CR> and getting
the prompt for the password.  After entering my password, things work as
fast as they should.

Is anybody else getting this?  Actually, I have a feeling something on
my configuration has broken - I get the same irritating delay at
Sourceforge.

I also get the 20+ s delay when I try

    $ ssh -lacmacm cvs.savannah.gnu.org

.  Any tips to sort this out would be gratefully received.  Thanks!

There are many possibilities, among them reverse DNS lookup failures,
GSSAPI, etc. Avahi/mDNS is rumoured to do such things as well (and is
being sneaked into many distros at the moment).

Have a look at this thread to get a pan-opticum of possibilities:

Hope that helps

It did, very much.  After writing the hostname/address combination into
my /etc/hosts and rebooting, I now get prompted promptly by the CVS
servers at savannah and sourceforge.

It's not really that brilliant, having hard coded addresses in
/etc/hosts, but I can live with it.
