Sorry your comment got eaten Oelbaum. I saw it on coComment. As I told you by mail, Patrick just got reverse DNS going. I think it wasn't working at all.

You're right, it doesn't. It seems it is indeed a reverse DNS problem. Should get fixed at some point.

Thanks to everybody for the help!

Does it rules out ? I think so.

But does the same command on the macbook works ? Is the “host $server_ip” response quick enough (something like less than 1 sec) on the macbook too ?

Anyway, having the ssh warnings would help to find the real issue

On the (IRC!) advice of Stereo, I tried host $macbook_ip from my server: the response was immediate, it didn't timeout at all.

That rules out reverse DNS problems, I suppose?

Each time that I used to have that kind of trouble with my ssh client, it was related to a bad configuration of DNS server. Like using an unresponsive one. Or trying to connect from an host using an IP without a proper dns reverse.

Anyway, and if your DNS servers are well set, please copy the -vvv log to my e-mail and we will try to check this out.

Essaie de te connecter en mettant l'adresse IP, et non pas le nom de domaine. C'est peut-être le DNS qui foire.

I recall something like this happening to me a while ago, but I can't remember how I fixed it. If you want, you can e-mail me the verbose output and I'll take a look.
