Its a timeout while the server attempts to do a reverse lookup and get a name for the logs (instead of just the IP). But once in - switching user doesn't occur any delay. <br><br>One thing to remember - if the system you use to SSH<b> <i>from</i></b> is listed in one of your own DNS server's domains, you'll suffer that delay whenever your own DNS servers are down. <br><br>Fix that DNS resolution problem, and your delay will go away. <br><br></span><span style='color:#1F497D'>As soon as I fixed the DNS issue, the delay did go away, the authentication now is instant.
