How about an ifconfig -a from both systems

Done.  Submitted to the list in a previous message.

 clearing the arp cache of
both hosts

Done.

and capturing tcpdumps on both ends during an entire
connection attempt?


I ran tcpdump on both hosts while attempting to secure shell from the Linux box.

From the OpenBSD box, I ran:

tcpdump -n host not 10.10.1.130 > bge1.dump

and got nothing back in bge1.dump at all.  tcpdump reported:

tcpdump: listening on bge1, link-type EN10MB
^C
23 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel



From the Linux box I got a little more information:

I ran:  tcpdump -n host not 10.10.1.130 > eth0.dump

I'm not going to kill the list with the whole tcpdump (email me off-list if you want it), but I grepped for the IP address of the OpenBSD box:

 cat eth0.dump  |grep 172.16.1.22
17:16:47.766317 arp who-has 172.16.1.22 tell 172.16.1.144
17:16:48.766068 arp who-has 172.16.1.22 tell 172.16.1.144
17:16:49.765827 arp who-has 172.16.1.22 tell 172.16.1.144


Does it seem as if the OpenBSD box isn't responding to the ARP requests?
