Description
(Imported from help.mit.edu #492117.)
tabbott:
Something else seems to have changed in the ssh configuration. Now when I ssh from an Athena workstation (which auto-xforwards) I get a really long delay followed by an xauth timeout.
andersk:
Hmm. I disabled X11Forwarding on the primary server for now. This reduced but did not eliminate the delay (i.e. there's still a huge difference between ssh and ssh -o ForwardX11=no), so I'm not entirely sure what's going on. I don't see the delay from my machine or mega-man.

This appears to be a bug with the version of ssh that's included in Athena 9, and only if your Athena 9 session is an ssh session with X forwarding. i.e.
ssh -Y athena.dialup ssh scripts
will trigger the bug, but
ssh -o ForwardX11=no athena.dialup ssh scripts
will not. Since the users who are most likely to be affected by this (athena.dialup users) are unlikely to have X forwarding to athena.dialup, I'm marking this bug as wontfix.
