Hi Mark!
i had a very similar problem on solaris 8. if you do a ssh -v -v -v hostname
you should be able to see where ssh is hanging. my problem was ssh was using
netstat, arp, ls, etc. to generate entropy (/dev/random was not installed).
i found a /dev/random for solaris 8, installed it, told ssh to use it for
entropy and all is well.
