The following is a sanitized output from a connection problem I've encountered over the last couple of days. I'm not sure where this issue came from, is it worked Monday, but not last night. This is from a Fedora 9 host to many versions of Netscreen ScreenOS devices, as described in the debug. Can anybody help me find out what's going on from the below? Thanks, Jonathan $ ssh -vvvvv user@xxxxxxx OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv
