PROBLEM SOLVED! Viewing the users (which was me from different PCs) logging in through sshd with Logwatch, I noticed that all PCs except the one in my office had a domain name. So I created a domain name using dynDNS for that PC at work and now the password prompt when sshing into the PC at home from the PC at work is instant! I don't understand though why this worked, because I had set "UseDNS no" in my openSSH server at home. Mike
