Yes, this is pretty much what I assumed...I would like to track down why this is happening, and send a good bug report to the OpenSSH folks, but I can't reproduce the problem, and probably won't have the time to fiddle with it too much. It may only happen when the client does something specific, that the client from my version of OpenSSH will not do, even under the same circumstances. -- - mdz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
