Hi there,

I have the following prolbem with ssh (linux).
Whenever I have a ppp connection up and running, the ssh client
takes minutes to log on. ssh -v tells me that this happens during
	debug: Seeding random number generator
This happens to local AND remote hosts. If the pppd is down, ssh
to the local host works fine. rlogin works at both times. I assume
that there is a problem with the name resolving, but what does this
have to do with the seed?

With kind regards / Mit freundlichem Gruß
