[CentOS] Delay in SSH login..

[siva m]

Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I just included 'VerifyreverseMapping No' inside
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and when I tried to restart the sshd it says :
=========================================
Starting sshd:/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 63: Deprecated option
VerifyreverseMapping
=========================================
 Can you please advice what is the correct way to disable it.

thanks
Lin
