I just booted up mys system after going away for a few days, and during
the boot various duplicate block errors were repaired.  I don't know if
that's relevant or not.

We have 2 machines on a tiny LAN, through a firewall box.  On my wife's
machine, coo, it complained after it was booted up, that the ssh host
key for my machine, posh, had changed.

I installed the current version of OpenSSH for coo.  A series of odd
errors then ensued - so I regenerated various user and host keys.

Now on either machine, ssh is very confused.  If I slogin from coo to
posh, all diagnostics look good, but I actually end up logged back into
coo itself.  Despite the "connecting to posh" message giving the right
IP address for posh.  To login to posh from coo, I actually have to
slogin to coo itself (and then it logs me into posh).  I also have to
provide the login password for the opposite machine to what I expect.

Similarly for the other machine.  Anyone have any idea what's going on?
slogin -v isn't helping; both machines local IP addresses are correct,
and agree with /etc/hosts ...
