That happened to me a while ago, too, except that it was on a newly installed OpenSSH. I don't remember exactly how I fixed it, and I think there may be many reasons it's not working. Try running both the client and the server in verbose mode. (-d for the server, and -v for the client). I think you'll have to stop the server (/etc/init.d/sshd stop), and then run the server from the command line. IIRC, in debug mode, the server will only accept one connection, then quit after the session is done. If you still can't figure out what's wrong, post the results, and hopefully that will give us more information to work with. Hubert
