in reply to net::ssh::Perl connecting to f-secure ssh server

Hi tweetiepooh,

This may or may not have something to do with your problem.

The other day, my boss asked me to research a problem he was seeing with Net::SSH::Perl.  He was trying to connect to a remote system, and having to wait for almost a minute before the connection would succeed.  What he then asked me was:  "Can you and Perlmonks help me research this problem?", which I got an immense kick out of. :-)

I did a search, and found that Net::SSH::Perl can take a long time if Math::BigInt::GMP isn't installed.  Once we installed it, the login time was respectably diminished.

As I said, I haven't any idea if that is related to your problem in any way, but it's certainly something to try.  And if your problem turns out to be something else, keep in mind that without installing Math::BigInt::GMP may cause you to experience a marked decrease in connection latency.

    Believe me I know about all those wierd maths libraries and have got them all. It took ages to build pari for Math::Pari for Crypt::RSA etc but I did get them. Login speed is fine so not an issue, thanks for offering the idea though, getting Net::SSH::Perl installed on Solaris 8 is a real pain.
