I'm glad to hear others are successfully using U5s. I'm leaning toward saying there's a hardware problem, but it must not be with the network card since I've tried the built-in network card as well as a 3Com. Can anyone suggest where else to look? (I think I've heard compiling a kernel is a good way to test memory.) Any log files that might point to faulty hardware? One point I forgot to mention in my original post is that connecting from the server back to itself (ie. ssh localhost) seems to work without fail. I mentioned my problem in an OpenSSH bug report (http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538), and one person asked if my server uses ssh-rand-helper. I don't know if Debian does or not, could one of you please tell me.
