Description tombert 2010-09-14 18:42:02 AEST 
Using Windows XP, have the compiled openSSH version 5.4p1 and openSSL 1.0.0 from MinSYS.

calling
ssh -v <user>@<host>

it takes about 15 to 20 seconds till the first debug1 line appears where it states:
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

when I call:
ssh -v -F <ssh_config> <user>@<host>
there is no timeout and the connection is quick.

I reduced the environment variable PATH to only two items:
PATH=d:\MinSYS;d:\MinSYS\bin

but this didn't help ...


How is this ssh_config file searched? is there an environment I can set?

thx for help
