openssh unix dev - May 2001 - Openssh 2.9p1 and scp is slow connecting

When I try to scp from or to a system, scp take up to 10 minutes to connect
and copy the file.  Both systems are Solaris 2.6 and openssh 2.9p1.  I issue
the command: "scp host:/file /", up to 10 minutes pass before the
password
is requested and then the file copies very fast.  When I ran a truss on the
command, scp seems to sleep for the time before it asks for the password.

Thanks,
Jeff Painter

Do you see the same problem with slogin/ssh? In this case you are better
off using "ssh -v -v -v ..." to see what is going on.
Anyway: connection times like these sound like DNS problems. Therefore
you should see the same problem with slogin...
