The usual cause of this is that OpenSSH is built with a self-seeding RNG 
(ie prngd is running) but then is run without it.

That's just a guess, though.  To help you more than that, you need to 
supply more information, such as what platform you're using, what 
version of OpenSSH (and OpenSSL) you have and what options you built 
them with.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
