As a simpler first step, you can install "strace" and/or "ltrace" and run ssh-keygen under them and see how far it's getting...it may or may not help, but it's a lot faster/easier than getting gdb running. Additionally, if the ssh debian/rules file has been properly set up, you can rebuild with debugging simply by apt-get source ssh cd ssh-<version> DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug,nostrip" debian/rules build (or "... debian/rules binary" if you want a new .deb package, instead of just an ssh-keygen with debugging info) Steve
