Ahhhh, hmmm would that have anything to do with the fact that I have a /29 block from my isp and run my own dns (forwards)?? I know that I must setup my reverses on my providers DNS machines for them to work right(I am guessing that is because the block is not actually swipped or delegated to me - just lent to me). Will the freebsd patch possibly work around this? Thanx! --Scott "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.

When you connect, it trys to do a reverse lookup on your IP, and times out. In some cases with FreeBSD 4.2 and OpenSSH, you need to apply a patch (came out several months ago), that seems to fix a similar problem.
