Hi Damien,

Casting my mind back I believe I worked around the issue by editing:

/usr/local/ssh/etc/ssh_prng_cmds

And commenting out:

---snip---
#"netstat -an" /usr/sbin/netstat 0.05
#"netstat -in" /usr/sbin/netstat 0.05
#"netstat -rn" /usr/sbin/netstat 0.02
#"netstat -pn" undef 0.02
#"netstat -ia" /usr/sbin/netstat 0.05
#"netstat -s" /usr/sbin/netstat 0.02
#"netstat -is" /usr/sbin/netstat 0.07
#"arp -a -n" /sbin/arp 0.02
---snip---

It seems these commands were taking a long time to complete and
delaying the PRNG seed by the sftp client.  From memory, it was *not*
DNS resolution (netstat -n) that was causing the delay in netstat.  It
must have been some other issue.  I don't recall any more details I
could give you.

Let me know if you need any more detail and I'll see what I can dig up.

Thanks,

Paul
