Re: strange SSH behavior

[Nick <nagray@austin.rr.com>]

I am pretty sure that this is due to failing reverse name lookup. (I wont 
swear to it though :-) ) I have the same problem if I SSH to a BSD box from 
a unamed host. But If I do it from a host that has a valid name on the net, 
it connects very quickly.
