On a local potato I just installed ssh 1.2.2-1 and clicked through all the warnings about installing it over the old non-free ssh. Since I was unable to log into the old sshd, I figured I had nothing to lose.
Now I am still unable to log in from other local machines. From one of these, a new ftp install of potato, I get an error message: ssh_exchange_identification: read: No such file or directory Has anyone seen this? Logging in from this other local box, an up-to-date OpenBSD, I get the same error as before, namely: read: undefined error: 0 btw, the ssh client on the machine in question works fine, on both local and remote systems. -- Bob Bernstein http://www.ruptured-duck.com at Esmond, R.I., USA This is......OpenBSD 2.6!
