SSH timeout doesn't work when hostname cannot be resolved #32

Even though -o ConnectTimeout=5 is set with ssh, it takes ages to timeout if hostname cannot be resolved.

The problem was on my local machine. I was using /etc/resolver/<company>.corp with nameserver IP address not reachable from internet. This caused the delay.

This fixed it immediately sudo mv /etc/resolver/<company>.corp /etc/resolver/<company>.corp.disabled
