Sounds like you might have name resolution issues. After you establish your SSH connection, issue the 'w' command to look at your login information. If your 'FROM' address is an IP address instead of the hostname that you want to see, that is a good sign that the box could not resolve the hostname of the client. Either allow the firewall to make DNS lookups, or (easier) add a static entry in your /etc/hosts file for your SSH client and try again.

I have tighened down my rulebase and it now takes 2 minutes to connect via SSH to the firewall. Does anyone have any suggestions?
