ssh hang issue(solved but now explain this..)

I thought that if I have hosts to "files dns" it would go to /etc/hosts
and then the dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf for name resolution.

Thanks for all the input!


Here's the relevant from the nsswitch.conf
passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap
hosts:      files dns

We use an ldap server for authentication for everyone but root. 

It's up and running and although it has info on all the hosts, there
should be no host lookup going to it.

The ssh fix was to remove ldap from passwd/shadow/group. 

So since there's no host lookup going to the ldap server, why was it
causing a problem?

Also check /etc/host.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf to see the lookup order
being
used.
