We can't really tell without seeing the server logs, though the server
(being "Sun_SSH_2.0") is not one we're so familiar with debugging.

If I had to guess based on where it was failing: the server is hanging
on getpwnam because of a broken nsswitch configuration. Right after
"debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received" the client sends the first
user auth request, which will trigger the server to initialise its auth
code. One of the first things the server does here is look up the
username.
