I'm having a similar problem to this. When I ssh to a Sun box running
sshd through the inetd, I get a longer delay than if I were to start up
a standalone sshd and connect to that. However, it's only on this box,
all the other boxes seem fine.

Is there something in the config I should look for? It doesn't appear to
be an inetd problem because I can telnet to the box with no delay.

My environment is:

Client Host
Cygwin1.3.6 Solaris2.6
OpenSSH3.0.2
OpenSSH3.0.2

JS.
