Brett, Les,

Thanks for the pointer, this worked. I knew it had to be DNS or maybe my system was really busy, but it is a very small web-server.

All of my systems are running 5.4 x64. The are all AMD x64 processors with at least 2gb of RAM in each.

I am running SSH on a non standard port.

When I SSH into ANY of my systems, I get prompted for my password right away, but after entering, it takes 30+ seconds to get logged in and get a prompt so I can work.

I dont quite know what to look for here

Does anyone have thoughts?

That sounds like a failing reverse DNS lookup or IDENT query dropped by a firewall so you wait for the timeout.

Try setting 'UseDNS no' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

HTH,
