Hello,

  I've been experiencing severe latency when ssh'ing to my FreeBSD box.  =
When I attempt to ssh from my Win98 box via Putty or from another =
FreeBSD or OpenBSD box I usually have to wait a couple of minuets (if =
I'm lucky) to connect.  Often I can not connect at all.  When I'm =
finally log into the FreeBSD box everything looks ok.  The sshd daemon =
is running and the only traces of a problem are found in my =
/var/log/messages.  Here's what I see in the messages file:

Feb 28 15:46:40 blue sshd[11039]: fatal: Read from socket failed: =
Connection reset by peer
Feb 28 16:59:45 blue sshd[11123]: fatal: Timeout before authentication =
for 192.168.1.9.

Feb 28 17:07:02 blue sshd[11145]: fatal: Timeout before authentication =
for 192.168.1.9.

Sometimes I don't see these errors as well.  Currently I'm running =
FreeBSD 4.5, but I had the same problem before when I was running =
FreeBSD 4.4.  The weird thing is that a reboot seems to take care of the =
problem, but as soon as the uptime reaches a couple of days I run into =
the same problem of not being able to ssh to the box.

This is the version of ssh:
OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20011202, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, =
OpenSSL 0x0090601f

Has anyone experienced this problem?  Any help would be greatly =
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John Hines
