[ale] SSH

[Michael Perigard]

Try running ssh with lots of verbosity (ssh -v or -vv or -vvv, depending
on if you compiled in debugging).

My connection from work takes a while, and i found that my AIX machine is
not configured with any /dev/random, and the delay is ssh creating its own
random data (from various log files etc.)

While this may not be your problem, running ssh -v will show every step
ssh takes to connect to the remote host and more, so you should be able to
track down the bottleneck.
