OSX, ssh, FreeBSD, login delays and a glass of red wine

I won’t bore the lot of you that could give two cents for what information I am about to offer. It’s extremely geeky, but it sucked up my entire evening of what could have been a productive night.

Don’t wanna read my blatherings? Add this to your ~/.ssh/config:

GSSAPIKeyExchange no

Voila, no more delays. No server config changes either. Hope you don’t have to use Kerberos! :-)

Read on to see how I got to this solution.
