Re: Putty 0.45 vs. SSH Login
Rauno,
What it looks like is that openssh is having to perform a
username/password lookup for the user you are trying to log in as,
creating the delay. For root, the openssh daemon has already been told
that this user is not allowed, so doesn't need to perform the lookup.
