Do you use onboard ssh in 1.5 (OpenSSH 2.5 or so i think)? If so, just build
and install the current openssl and openssh from pkgsrc. I had a similar
problem, never looked, why this is so, but on slower machines, even with
protocol 1, sshd from NetBSD distribution takes very long for handshaking. The
pkgsrc OpenSSH works.

If you don't want to build it, get the compiled packages, and if you want to
build them, remeber that openssl needs perl to build, so you have to build
perl, openssl and openssh, which could take several minutes (hours, days...)
