Old thread but better to keep it all together - I'm having a problem along the lines of what alu was experiencing - openssh not recognising parameters set in sshd_config
I am downloading a single csv file from my Tiny Core thin client to a Windows 7 machine, using Openssh on the TC end and cwRsync on the Windows end. The file transfer only takes 2 or 3 seconds, but rsync is hanging for about 15 seconds prior to starting the transfer. I have found several references to a reverse DNS lookup, which can supposedly be avoided by adding "UseDNS no" to sshd_config.
I have done this and restarted sshd, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. It appears openssh is ignoring my sshd_config settings.
Permissions of my ssh directory:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 280 Jun 5 15:59 ./
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 240 Jun 5 15:59 ../
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 5 15:59 moduli -> /tmp/tcloop/openssh/usr/local/etc/ssh/moduli

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 Jun 5 15:59 sshd_config.example -> /tmp/tcloop/openssh/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config.example
When I first set up openssh I copied the sshd_config.example file to sshd_config as per instructions in info file, and then ran chmod 644 on sshd_config to set what I believe to be the correct permissions. Did the same for ssh_config.
Any suggestions?
