sshd takes 15 minutes to start

[swhatley at hal-pc.org]

Hi all,

We are running OpenSSH v3.4p1 on three ES340 Alpha which run Tru64 v5.1A.  
The last couple of weeks, the system hangs at bootup for 15 minutes at the
point where it is bring up sshd.  When I manually stop and start sshd, it still
takes 15 minutes.  I manually ran sshd with the -ddd level 3 debug option.
 sshd hanges at the message which states it is creating a randomized seed.  It
also tkaes 15 minutes to run ssh_keygen.

The only tings we have done lately is to upgrad the ES40's firmware in
preporation to going to Tru64 5.1B.  We have also added gigabit NICs to set up
a private netowrk for use of NIS, NFS, and other intranetwork traffic.

I have tried compiling OpenSSH v3.6.1p2 with the same results.  OpenSSH was
compiled with GCC v3.3.  We are also running OpenSSL v0.6.9g and zlib v1.4.
 Does anyone here have any ideas what could be going on?

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven
