Slow SSH connections to DICE machines?

This can have different reasons. Try the following:

- open local firewall in System Preferences (i.e. turn it off temporarily). If that helps, insert a firewall item for port 113 on TCP (call it "Ident") and restart the firewall.

- ask Support to assign a DNS entry (i.e. name) for your machine, so "Reverse DNS" will resolve its name correctly.
