Dear list,
I cannot connect from my OS X ssh client to a newly installed FreeBSD 6.1 server.
It is odd that:
        1 - I can connect to other freeBSD 6.1 servers from this OS X client
        2 - I can connect to other Linux servers from this OS X client.
3 - The server to which I cannot connect _can_ be connected to using PuTTY on Windows XP (running on Parallels VM on top the same OSX system!!!...meaning the ip and networking from the client are the same.).

I am using default password based authentication. My OS X is at the latest upgrades from Apple. A sample of trying to connect is as follows (personal identifiers changed):

> ssh -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only things changed in the server's default /etc/ssh/sshd_config are enabling root login and turning off dns lookups. Both of these changes were rolled back to see if they caused the trouble. This had no effect. The connection gets closed (by the server it appears) every time. My /var/log/auth.log file does not log anything for this failure. Where else should I look??

thanks, ke han
