Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 73ba09fbe2 Optimize SSH connection performance by disabling GSSAPI authentication and reverse DNS lookups
- Added 'GSSAPIAuthentication no' to prevent unnecessary Kerberos negotiation delays.
- Added 'UseDNS no' to skip reverse DNS resolution during SSH login, improving connection speed.
- Both changes improve SSH responsiveness, especially in non-domain environments.

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options override the
# default value.

# Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication, account processing,
# and session processing. If this is enabled, PAM authentication will
# be allowed through the ChallengeResponseAuthentication and
# PasswordAuthentication. Depending on your PAM configuration,
# PAM authentication via ChallengeResponseAuthentication may bypass
# the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password".
# If you just want the PAM account and session checks to run without
# PAM authentication, then enable this but set PasswordAuthentication
# and ChallengeResponseAuthentication to 'no'.
