fedora4 and Net SSH Perl

all,
have any one run into performance issue with Net SSH Perl, it took a long time to install Crypt::DH. When using it Net SSH Perl, it took a long time to connect. Any idea as to why this is.

Thanks.

Re: fedora4 and Net SSH Perl

I've used the combination in the past, though I can't remember the version numbers.

If there is a problem, there should be some complaints in the /var/log/messages file. I'd recommend making sure you are on a recent stable version and your system is generally properly updated.

Re: fedora4 and Net SSH Perl


Even I am having same issue as you on FC4. Don't know the reason though..

One reason could be the cipher suite which is configured default and entropy random pool choosen.

I am not very sure where to check for entropy random pool value.

Re: fedora4 and Net SSH Perl

apparently I am having issue with it in FC3 as well. I port back and install FC3, I did not choose "Everything" as the install. I am stuck at test 18-20/21 for more than an 30 minutes now.
CPAN.pm: Going to build B/BT/BTROTT/Crypt-DH-0.06.tar.gz

Any idea of what is going on here?

Has anyone else experience this?

Thanks.

Re: fedora4 and Net SSH Perl


I now remember that I experienced this on FC2 as well. All i had to at the end was to cancel the test and directly go for make install, it is not what i want to do but i was forced to do so.

It would be better if you can try installing the binary rpm of Net SSH Perl for FC4.
Check this link:
http://dries.studentenweb.org/apt/packages/perl-Net-SSH/info.html

Also i don't know whether you are the one who created this bug, but found this on RH website.

Re: fedora4 and Net SSH Perl

Yeah, that's me. It is flag as not a bug but since it's not an RPM.

Yeah, I am able to install it if I wait long enough, but I think I will get slow login due to Crypt DH; this is what happen to me on fc4. Not sure if I am going to experience it on fc3

BTW, the version of Crypt DH is "Crypt-DH-0.06"

Any idea why?

Re: fedora4 and Net SSH Perl


I believe that is the latest version of Crypt-DH. Check this link: http://search.cpan.org/~btrott/Crypt-DH-0.06/lib/Crypt/DH.pm

Installing Math::BigInt::GMP should make a big improvement in your connection time.
