Hi I am trying to use Openssh(openssh-5.2p1) with Openssl (0.9.8i) engine support thus providing HW offload for cipher and hash operations into my Crypto driver. But for some reason when I run the sshd I am not able to connect any ssh clients to it. When I run the sshd I do see some hash operations going into the crypto HW driver, but ultimately I am not sure why the ssl client would not be able to connect to it. Also if I remove the Engine support for Openssl (having it to follow the normal cipher and hash) I am able to connect the clients and all is fine. But its only when I use the engine offload I have a problem. I have tested Openssl (by running normal openssl commands) with engine support and that works fine. Are there any known issues of openssh working with Openssl engine or am I missing some configuration. Any suggestions what could be the problem or what could be done.. Thanks, -Shasi
