Agreed. After some experimenting, here is a cut/paste from my post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For each host/zone you want to ssh efficiently to, add the following to your $HOME/.ssh/config file: Host 10.200.20.10 Ciphers=arcfour,aes128-cbc Compression=yes HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-dss Protocol=2 ForwardX11=yes Regards, Al Hopper Logical Approach Inc, Plano, TX.
