slow ssh prompt

[binary dreamer <dreamer.binary@gmail.com>]

Hi. I am running debian 6.0.7 and i am facing a problem with slow 
response when asking to ssh. once i do a ssh root@192.168.1.77 then the 
prompt for the passwd it takes around 30 secs to respond. after that 
everything is fine. is there a way to fix that delay?


sincerely yours,
