if you happen to

• just change from starhub cable connection to singtel adsl connection
• getting the singtel 2wire modem with firewall feature
• your vps is not on standard port 22 for SSH

then you will be same like me having problem to connect, even some time you manage to connect , but within few minute, your session will be hang. First i doubt is my mac issue, so i been tweaking the setting for ssh_config then i thought is my vps issue, but my vps confirm no problem and i can use putty to connect and last i think about firewall and i did the port fowarding but it still cannot work.

Finally i saw some user comment in a forum, the solutions is just restart the modem. Yes just restart it by go in the management page through your browser and click on restart modem ( not sure power on off work or not) and now i m able to SSH without any problem, sigh !

So far i only manage to SSH to media temple, that is the only host i can SSH, not sure is that because their setting is different. So what happen is , after i type the command and try to SSH, it will take very long time for the VPS to respond and when i key in my password, the connection just close without any reason.

after search through a lots of solutions, this is the one that works on me.

the delay was caused by my local SSH client rying to look up Kerberos credentials

Edit /etc/ssh_config and add in these value

GSSAPIAuthentication no
GSSAPIKeyExchange no

no need to restart or what, just launch your terminal again and issue the SSH, after this changes apply , i m able to SSH in my VPS immediately , no waiting time and the same password i been try previously.
