[OpenIndiana-discuss] Slow ssh login?

[Dan Swartzendruber]

Hi, all.  I've got an issue that is bugging me.  I've got an OI 151a7 VM and
ssh to it takes 15 seconds or so, then I get a prompt.  It's not the usual
reverse dns or gssapi stuff, since my backup node is also OI 151a7 and it
responds instantly to the ssh request.  Google has not turned up anything
useful except for the usual suspects that are innocent in this case.  The
only hint I can see is if I give '-v' on the client, I see this:

OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012

Any thoughts where to look?  It's got to be something that is different
between the two OI hosts, but offhand, I'm not sure where to look.
Thanks...
