problem with ncrack

[getridofthespam <getridofthespam () yahoo com>]

Hi,

All our unix systems are configured with a default root password: localroot
The people the system is build for are requested to change the default password.
I wanted to use ncrack to verify id the root password is still  localroot.

# ncrack -n -U uf -P pf  10.10.10.10:22

where uf is a file containing root and pf a file containing localhost.

I expected ncrack to return immediately with a yes or no as a matter of speaking but
it takes ages to complete. Am I missing something?

Tnx for all replies.
