Ssh login suddenly taking a long time ...

I have a G3 PowerBook which connects to my internal network wirelessly via an AirPort Express and is assigned an IP by DHCP. I also have a Cube and a Mini, both with wired connections. The PowerBook and Cube both are running up-to-date versions of Tiger (10.4.11) and the Mini has 10.5.1. Up until recently (and I'm thinking this is before I upgraded the Mini to Leopard and before the 10.4.11 update) I could ssh easily between all the machines without a care in the world. However, now any ssh from the PowerBook to the others takes a long time to initiate (about 1 min).
After some investigation, and by redirecting sshd logs to /var/log/system.log and tailing it, I found that the following:
launchproxy[…]: /usr/libexec/sshd-keygen-wrapper: Connection from: … on port: 52226
was taking all the time. Don't know anything about this process other than I think it is probably generating the public key for the connection.
ssh from either the Cube or Mini to the PowerBook is just as before.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
KL

It may be some dodgy settings or plugins causing that, I would say job one is to check out your extensions, as these can cause all sorts of issues. First, disable them all temporarily and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, turn them back on in turn and see if one in particular is causing the issue. If you find one, ditch it!
If the app is still slow, I would recommend backing up all your bookmarks, and then dumping any settings associated with the app. If you don't feel comfortable doing this manually, you may want to use a tool like Appcleaner to uninstall all of the application's files, and then reinstall a fresh copy from firefox.com.
Hope that helps!

  • Logining in Taking a long time

    No it's not normal. Somehow your default OS selection has been changed.
    In System Preferences->Startup Disk, select the first icon which should be labeled Mac OS X 10.5.6
    And by the way, please update your profile or your OS. It shows a very early version of Leopard which has some bugs that were addressed in later updates.

  • Computer still taking a long time to boot

    I have a late 2013 21.5” iMac (Model: ME087LL/A) with a 1TB hard drive (5400 rpm).  I just switch from Windows to Mac, so I tried to keep everything as simple as possible on the transfer of files.  I had only added Kaspersky Antivirus and Western Digital Tools. 
    Boot times and operation seemed normal so I transferred my music, pictures, and some files.  My computer started running slow with just one user and started taking a long time to boot.  I found that since I added about 24,000 pictures to iPhoto, the Mac was trying to send all these pictures to iCloud in the background.  I stopped using iCloud for iPhoto and that seemed to speed up the normal operation once the computer is booted. 
    The computer still seemed to take a very long time to boot.  It would now take 3 minutes to get from turning it on to being able to use Safari.  I uninstalled Kaspersky Antivirus and Western Digital Tools using each company’s uninstallers so I know they are completely off the computer. 
    Any ideas on how to get back to the fast boot time?  I am only using about 150 GBs of the 1 T drive so I don’t think that is causing the issue.  What should I expect for a boot time on a brand new Late 2013 iMac?  Or should I try to re-install Maverick and try to get a fresh start?
    Any advice would be appreciated so I don’t feel like I made the wrong choice going to Mac.  I'm kicking myself because the computer was so fast when I just got it.

    Seventy one thanks for trying to help me out.  I really appreciate it.  Log is below.  You are absolutely right. Kaspersky and WD look like they still have something (as well as google??).  Is there anything else that stands out?  How would I go about getting rid of them?  Re-Install?  Clean Re-Install?

  • Replicated partition is taking a long time

    I have been using a replicated partition to move some data from one Database to another and it has been working working fine.
    All of a sudden the replicated partition is taking a long time ( does not complete) when I run a maxl script to refresh the replicated partition. I can't seem to figure out what caused the issue. I made sure the there are no virtual members defined in the sparse dimensions and the mapping are correct.
    Any idea of why the process will take so long all of a sudden?

    I have narrowed down to the problem on part of the hierarchy of the dimension. The parent member has about 2500 children under it and any time we include this part of the tree in the partition the partition takes a long time( the total number of members in the Cost center is 18K)

  • SM59 - Remote Logon taking very long time - RFC is receiver

    Hi Friends,
    We have ABAP connection (SM59) to R/3 system from PI system.  The connection test is fine. But, when we click the Remote Logon from SM59, it is taking very long time. It is unable to login.
    Due to this, messages are in scheduled state in the receiver CC monitoring. (SOAP to RFC - Async ). Receiver RFC CC also are green.
    We checked with R/3 team, the remote user which is used in SM59 is not locked in R/3 system and password also not changed.
    Friends, kindly clarify why it is taking very long time from PI in SM59 when the connection is fine.
    Kind regards,
    Jegathees P.

    Hi Sabarish,
    I checked in SM58. There are no entries.  SM59 is for other interfaces (IDoc).  In the Message Monitoring all messages showing 'To be Delivered' and 'Delivering' from yesterday onwards. In the CC monitoring, it shows 'Message Processing Started' from yesterday onwards. But not completed.
    I checked in SM21 take log of type 'RD'.  I doubt is this the correct log for this problem.
    The specified operating system call was returned with an error.        |
    For communication calls (receive, send, etc) often the cause of errors
    are network problems.
    It could also be a configuration problem at operating system level.
    (file cannot be opened, no space in the file system etc.).
    Additional specifications for error number 146
    Name for errno number ECONNREFUSED
    Interprocess communication (e.g. TCP/IP) connection refused by partner.
    |This usually means that the necessary receiver program is not running.
    Kindly clarify.
    Kind regards,
    Jegathees P.

  • Taking too long time to get LOV

    HI,
    I have created a customer folder in which the query retuns 0.5 million records.
    I have created a item class in airline_name column which is being used in the worksheet as parameter.
    The problem is it is taking too long time near about 2 min to get LOV when the user wants to search the exact name.
    Thanks,
    Himanshu Tiwari

    Hi,
    Usually, you should not use the folder that the report is based on to define the LOV. You should use a separate folder to define the LOV that is optimised to return the content of the LOV.

  • Discoverer reports taking a long time!!!

    Hi all,
    One of our clients is complaining that the discoverer reports are taking a long time to run for the last few days, the report used to take 30 minutes before but now is running for hours!!
    I have checked the SGA and I have killed the idle sessions but still there was no improvement in the performance.
    The version of BI discoverer is 10 and database also is 10g and the platform is win server 2003.
    I have checked the forums and they talk about explain plan and tkprof and other commands, but my problem is that i am unable to find the query that discoverer is running i mean once the report is clicked the query runs and gives the estimate time it would take. can some one tell me where this query is stored so that i can check this query,
    Also there were no changes made in the query or to the database.
    The temp space fills up 100%, i increased the size of temp space but still it goes to 100% also i noticed that the CPU utilisation goes to 100%
    i also increased the SGA but still no go.
    can someone kindly help me as to what could be causing this problem
    also kindly guide me to some good documents for tuning the discoverer.
    thanks in advance,
    regards,
    Edited by: user10243788 on Jan 4, 2010 12:47 AM

    Hi,
    The fact that the report used to work fast and now not can be related to many things but my guess is that the database statistics were changed and so the explain plan has changed.
    This can be done due to change in the volume of the data that crossed a level were oracle optimizer change the behavior but it can be other things as well.
    Anyway it is not relevant since it will be easier to tune the SQL than to find what have changed.
    In order to find whether the problem is with the discoverer or in the SQL extract the SQL as described above and run it in SQL tool (SQL Plus, TOAD, SQL Developer and so on).
    The best way to get to the problem is run a trace on your session and then use the TKPROF command to translate it to a text file you can analyze - you can assist your DBA team they should have no problem doing that.
    By doing that you will get the problematic statements/ functions/ procedures that the report uses.
    From there you can start working on improving the performance.
    Performance is expertise for itself so i'm sorry i don't know to tell you where to start from, I guess the start will be from understanding the meaning of the explain plan.
    Hope I helped a little although I wish Ii had a magic answer for you
    BTW, until you resolve that problem you can use the discoverer scheduler to run the reports in the background and so the users will get the data.

    I am just curious as to why this is, and what I might do to fix it.  I did see one suggestion in another website suggesting diabling spolight indexing of the backup image with sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Time Machine Backups, but don't know where to type that in.  It then states to reenable it, but don't know where to type that in, either.  Any advice would be helpful.  I did run a verification not too long ago, and here's that code.

    10/14/12 4:04:31.602 PM com.apple.backupd: Backup verification passed!
    If any of you have or had a similar problem, I'd appreciate your help.  For the time being, I may just disable time machine during the evening, and only have it run during the day when I'm at work.

    Is your sig still current (10.7.3)? Or did you update to 10.7.5? Because 10.7.5 had a Spotlight/Time Machine bug that slowed down a lot of backups. If that's what it is, there's now a 10.7.5 Supplemental Update that fixes the slow Time Machine problem.
    If it isn't 10.7.5, I don't know what the problem might be.

  • Report script taking very long time to export in ASO

    Hi All,
    My report script is taking very long time to execute and finally a message appears as timed out.
    I'm working on ASO Cubes and there are 14 dimensions for which i need to export all data for all the dimensions for only one version.
    The data is very huge and the member count in each dimension is also huge, so which is making me difficult to export the data.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks

    Here is a link that addresses several ways to optimize your report script. I utilize report scripts for Level 0 exports in an ASO environment as well, however the majority of our dimemsions are attribute dimensions.
    These are the most effective solutions we have implemented to improve our exports via report scripts:
    1. Make sure your report script is written in the order of how the Report Extractor retrieves data.
    2. Supressing Zero and Missing Data
    3. We use the LINK command within reports for some dimensions that are really big and pull at Level 0
    4. Using Symmetric reports.
    5. Breakout the exports in multiple reports.
    However, you may also consider some additional solutions outlined in this link:
    1. The MDX optimizing commands
    2. Back end system settings
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/drpoptim.htm
    I hope this helps. Maybe posting your report script would also help users to provide feedback.
    Thanks

  • My external library 100 GB on a 2TB drive is taking a long time to open.

    Hey there,
    I recently moved my library to an external drive.  When I tried to load the external drive, it said it needed to repair and I let it happen overnight because it was taking a long time.
    Now it seems to just freeze when I try to load the external library.  Can someone let me know if there is something I can do to make this process speed up?  Should I move some of my projects to another library and keep it off-line?
    Thanks,
    Austin

    Could it possibly be due to videos stored in the aperture library?  I think one of the folders has multiple GB of video...  Just a thought.
    If Aperture is freezing on opening, this can be caused by corrupted or incompatible media, but it would not explain the original error message your reported - "permissions".
    When the repair finishes, try to launch Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If media cannot beprocessed, Aperture will hang, when it tries to generate the previews for those images or videos. If you can get Aperture to launch after deferring the preview generation, you could open the Activity window (Window > Show Activity) and then selectively try to generate previews for your last imported images and videos  (Photos > update preview). The Activity window will show, what is currently processed, and perhaps you can spot, which of the files is causing the hang.
