that is probably symptamatic of another problem though. the old sshd works just fine for me (and always has). if it didn't work i suspect something is wonky with your setup. > ssh_exchange_identification: read: No such file or directory what are you using for your cipher? i'm not sure why ciphers that openssh supports but blowfish should be supported by everything. > 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 i did have this problem and i figured out what was wrong ... and i can't remember what it was ... it was a minor config error. one thing i had to fix was the path the the sshd_config file in /etc/ssh. > btw, the ssh client on the machine in question works fine, on both local > and remote systems. i removed openssh because of a different problem. i could connect to a remote computers fine, but the second time i tried to connect i would get the warning that the hostkey didn't match ... i didn't have the time to figure out what was going wrong so i reverted. i also had problems logging into my box with openssh but i think that was because portsentry took over port 22 during the upgrade (doh!). adam.
