This last executed with no apparent problem. What baffles me is that this same package is behaving so differently on two potato systems. It works fine on the brandy new potato installed from scratch via ftp just this past week. It's broken on this older install (I think it goes back to hamm or bo or somebody!) which I have kept in sync with potato via apt-get, most recently also just last week. Maybe it's time to look at the libs sshd is linked with, and see what differs on these two machines. -- Bob Bernstein at Esmond, R.I., USA
