It was DNS ... I have copied a resolv.conf into the jails for future use, but did not enable NAT from the start. The issue disappeared when I commented out the nameserver entries and switched NAT off again, i.e., I could login using ssh in a matter of seconds, not minutes. Now to the followup: Why does ssh and emacs! require DNS for entirely local connections or just to be started? Anyway, thanks for that hint, cheers, -- Christopher TZ: GMT + 2h
