I do not think that is it. Bit more information ....
There are 5 machines which run sshd 1.2.27
A, B, C - running on a LAN, same IP subnet, Redhat 6.0
D - running on a LAN, same IP subnet, Redhat 6.1
E - sitting at an ISP, going through IP masq, Redhat 6.1
Only machines D & E exhibit the problem. So it really seems like it is
something to do with Redhat 6.1
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
