[SunHELP] SLOW ssh connections..

[Jim Richey]

If you are using openssh:

Edit /etc/ssh/ssh_prng_cmds. If may be in another directory depending on
where you configured openssh. Possibly /usr/local/etc.

Find the line:

"arp -a -n" /usr/sbin/arp 0.02

and comment it out:

# "arp -a -n" /usr/sbin/arp 0.02
