help with ssh ?

[Kevin Kempter]

Hi List;

I have a machine I want to ssh to with no passwd. I've done this on my local 
fedora 7 box:

$ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f .ssh/id_dsa
$ cd .ssh
$ scp id_dsa.pub user at remote:~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub


Then I connected to the remote box and did this:

$ ssh user at remote
[remote-box] $ cd .ssh

[remote-box] $ cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
[remote-box] $ chmod 640 authorized_keys2
[remote-box] $ rm id_dsa.pub
[remote-box] $ exit

The scp took like 5min

Then I try and connect like this (remote box is 172.16.128.128) :

$ ssh -v 172.16.128.128

and I get this:
OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006

debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/kkempter/.ssh/identity
debug1: Offering public key: /home/kkempter/.ssh/id_rsa

At this point ssh hangs for like 4 or 5 minutes, then I get this:

debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]

debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: Sending env LANG = en_US.UTF-8
Last login: Tue Sep  4 16:26:13 2007 from 172.16.128.1

Then it hangs again for another 2 - 3 minutes and finally I get a prompt.

the remote box is a windows XP box in vmware on my local fedora box running 
cygwin

Any thoughts?
