Hello,

Hmm .... I get the "corrupted mac" error again on current, while connecting to 
the net4801 with windows + putty.

Connecting with openbsd ssh client does not produce the error, I only get it 
with latest
windows and putty client ....

Is anyone else able to test:
a) with a windows client + putty
b) to a connect via ssh to a soekris 4801 running current + mini pci soekris 
vpn 1401
c) do you get the corrupted mac on input errors?

thx a lot
didier
