OpenSSH 2.1.0 under Solaris 8 ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

Compiled great, got both my RSA and DSA keys' generated for Protocol 1/2,
started up fine ... try to connect and get a bunch of errors:

Proceeds to let me login, but a second attempt fails ... ps shows no more
sshd processes running :(

Known problem?
