Comment 50 for bug 84899

By the way, there is a line in /etc/ssh/ssh_config that reads:

# GSSAPIAuthentication no

and another line that reads:

    GSSAPIAuthentication yes

Obviously someone added the "GSSAPIAuthentication yes" when default is "no." Since commenting the line with "yes" fixed my problem (~10-15 sec vs. ~0-1 sec for login) I think the default should be restored.

This is such an easy fix, I am amazed the problem is still around with Lucid (not that there isn't some underlying problem that isn't an easy fix). Why not default to "no?"
