Re: long ssh communication


##here waits around a minute

Entering Diffie-Hellman Group 1 key exchange.
Sent DH public key, waiting for reply.
Received host key, type 'ssh-dss'.
Host 'host' is known and matches the host key.
Computing shared secret key.

##here waits around a minute

Verifying server signature.

##here waits around half a minute

These are the public-key operations: the Diffie-Hellman key agreement and
server host key verification. They are the most computationally intensive
part of the connection setup and hence most likely to take a while if the
implementation or host are slow.
