forum to discuss problems

[Mate Wierdl]

Please tell me where I can ask questions on ssh's use.

I installed openssh on two Linux boxes, one is RedHat 6.0 the other is
RedHat 6.1.  I used the rpms at 

ftp://thermo.stat.ncsu.edu/pub/openssh-usa/

I used the us versions, and I touched no config files whatsoever.

>From one machine, I have no problems connecting to the other machine,
but does not work the other way around.

Here are the details:

On the RH 6.0 box, I have problems connectiong to the 6.1 box: 

ssh -v moni
