Mavericks - SSH stops working.

I have just upgraded my MacPro with Mountain Lion to Mavericks 10.9 and got the problem with SSH that I can not use my Terminal any more. It just hangs there without any message ...

It seems that there is a problem with the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) in the latest version of SSH which is included in the new Mac OS X.

There is no solution so far for the problem but this trick work around is working for me which could work for your case also:

Simply create a new ~/.ssh/config file and add this line to it:

$ vi ~/.ssh/config

MACs hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160

You're all set. Enjoy your new Mavericks!
