Today, I've just noticed that ssh has become disabled on two separate machines, one at home, and one at my office. Both are FC4 and are kept up to date with latest patches. I haven't really dived in, yet, except to look at the ssh config files, where there didn't seem to be anything amiss. So far, I've tried applying my firewall rules from fwbuilder to both machines, and both give back ssh errors. I then tried a simple log on via ssh to the local machine at work, and it failed. I just tried to log in to my office machine from home, and it just stalls. I don't know when this stopped working, but the fact that it's happenning on two machines widely separate, makes me wonder if some recent update broke things... -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
