Solaris 8 SSH slow to respond after sys-unconfig

So I've been trying to get this working again without success.

I had to move my server to a different subnet. Did sys-unconfig and SSH takes forever to ask for a password!

I've regenerated my keys but it didn't help $:\$

Most of the time (after a couple minutes) when it finally asks for the password it just disconnects.

Any Solaris buffs out there got any ideas?

(*it's not game breaking for me, I have the alom setup over the network so I can still get in) but would be helpful =]

does the ip you're logging in from have a valid reverse DNS entry? If not, that's a common culprit of logins getting stalled.

As for actually dropping you after you login, check the authentication logs and it should tell you. It can be anything from messed up permissions to a bad shell set
