This has to do with the version of the SSH protocol that's being used rather than privilege separation. The default for ssh in stable is now "Protocol 2,1" whereas it used to be "Protocol 1,2". On slow machines, SSH 2 takes noticably to connect than SSH 1 does, so you may wish to change the settings in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/sshd_config and/or ~/.ssh/config. -- David Siebörger drs@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
