Hi,
this may be a beotian question, but my ssh ceased to work with the last 
current kernel.

Now, instead of having the normal behiavour, I get this:

ssh -vvv -4 cimax

OpenSSH_4.3 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20060204, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005

debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug1: fd 3 clearing O_NONBLOCK
ssh: connect to host cimax port 22: Operation now in progress

I have masked the IP address (for obvious bad and ridiculous reasons).

Once I have that message from connect, ssh exits with status 0xff.

Whereas, when I try "telnet cimax 22" I get :

Connected to cimax.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.3 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20060204

Which is expected normal behaviour.
I admit I am a bit lost. If anybody knows anything…

Thanks,
Vincent
