Description Joris Esch 2002-03-28 01:00:22 AEDT 
$ssh jesch@ciao -v -v -v
...
debug3: Reading output from 'df'
debug3: Time elapsed: 2 msec

At this point ssh waits forever (in this case, because of a bug in df).
Some wrap around code can be useful in some cases.

what is the df bug that causes this?
we should timeout for no output cases.

can you also try 3.1p1?

You can always take df out of ssh_prng_cmds. Additionally -current has the means
to properly debug the entropy gathering processs (see "man 8 ssh-rand-helper")
