FAQ entry on rekeys: Jacob would like to pre-emptively try to avoid
the possibility of people falling back to SSH-1 just because it gets rid of the irritating delays. [originally from svn r5584]

\S{faq-rekey}{Question} My SSH-2 session \I{locking up, SSH-2
|
||||||
|
sessions}locks up for a few seconds every so often.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recent versions of PuTTY automatically initiate \i{repeat key
|
||||||
|
exchange} once per hour, to improve session security. If your client
|
||||||
|
or server machine is slow, you may experience this as a delay of
|
||||||
|
anything up to thirty seconds or so.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These \I{delays, in SSH-2 sessions}delays are inconvenient, but they
|
||||||
|
are there for your protection. If they really cause you a problem,
|
||||||
|
you can choose to turn off periodic rekeying using the \q{Kex}
|
||||||
|
configuration panel (see \k{config-ssh-kex}), but be aware that you
|
||||||
|
will be sacrificing security for this. (Falling back to SSH-1 would
|
||||||
|
also remove the delays, but would lose a \e{lot} more security
|
||||||
|
still. We do not recommend it.)
