SSH logins are really slow

[ksv]

It applies to all versions of OS X, but the 10.3.7 update made ssh authentication much slower. It takes about a minute and a half before the server asks for the password. The same applies to tls connections and even unencrypted http_auth connections in Safari. Firefox works fine. Does anyone know what's going on?

I don't have a problem with this on my G4 or iBook. Takes a few seconds, but I don't believe it's more than 5-10 seconds for me.

Sounds like some DNS lookup that takes time.
