This problem reared its ugly head again today. Looks like the REAL fix
was to set "UseDNS no" in sshd.conf.
It was working fine on a LAN, but when I tried remoting in from off
site, it got REAL slow again.
I don't quite understand it-none of our sites have an in-house dns
server, but I guess for whatever reason this box didn't like the router
it was connected to? (I always set my windows machines to the IP
address of the router for the DNS entry, and did the same for my other
centos box).

I don't know if this helps any, but it appears that GSSAuthentication
may not be implemented on the Rivendell Appliance{*}, and causes some
kind of time-out when called. So disabling it avoids the timeout.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Security_Services_Application_Program_Interface
{*} Or it may be implemented on the Rivendell, but not implemented in
your Putty, causing SSH on the Rivendell to request something from
Putty that Putty does not recognize and allows the request to time
out.
In either case, disabling it on the Rivendell is unlikely to do any
harm that isn't already done by connecting with a client that doesn't
recognize it..
Hope that helps,
Rick

An update again for posterity:
After much research, fiddling, and trial an error I finally got ssl/ssh vnc
viewer to connect to x11vnc via ssh on its own.
Whether right, or wrong (if by doing this I am breaking something, or
compromising something PLEASE someone chime in), I found by disabling
"GSSIAuthentication" in the sshd.conf file I was finally able to connect.
I have no idea what one has to do with the other, but not only did it allow
me to finally get in, but it also substantially reduced the delay of the
password prompt. Only thing I can figure is the large delay must have
caused some timeout issue. Its just a SWAG based on my extremely limited
knowledge of linux.

Thanks Gary, but I am making progress.....SLOW progress. I would love an
explanation if someone wouldn't mind:
I got rid of the errors by enabling x11 forwarding in putty. Okay, sounds
fair enough, except that the CentOS box I just set up doesn't have x11
forwarding enabled and I don't get any error messages when I log in. Also,
it still "hangs" for a moment before prompting me for my password. My other
box asks instantly.
The only thing I can figure is the installation of "x11vnc" on the Rivendell
v2 appliance must have something to do with it. I use tiger-vnc on my other
box because I don't want to connect to a physical display.
Anyway, I FINALLY have x11vnc working over ssh now using putty and ssl/ssh
vnc viewer.
What I can't seem to make work now is using ONLY ssl/ssh vnc viewer. Also,
when trying it stalls for almost a minute it seems before prompting for my
password.
Baby steps...

As an aside, I installed the RDD appliance on VMWare workstation and RDD
didn't even show up, even though the Centos installed fine. I am wondering
what am I missing? Regarding the ssh, there is a video config setting
somewhere in the config but not sure of the details sorry.

I am trying to set up ssh on the appliance v2. When using putty to
connect it takes a while before my password prompt is displayed. Once I
am finally logged in, I get the following errors:
xset: unable to open display ""
xset: unable to open display ""
xhost: unable to open display ""
This is on a fresh virgin install of appliance v2.
I recently set up a non rivendell box on CentOS 6.4 and got this working
with very little effort.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
