slow ssh login with Solaris

You have to wait 30 sec or 60 sec till you get your login prompt.

with ssh -v user@host you can see

...
debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-keyex 
debug1: No valid Key exchange context 
debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic

than try

ssh -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no -l user host

or change /etc/ssh/sshd_config

GSSAPIAuthentication no
LookupClientHostnames no
VerifyReverseMapping no
