10.5.7 has completely borked the ssh client on this Mac Mini.
I can't even connect to localhost after the password has been accepted. Debug shows authentication succeeds and the server tries to establish X-forwarding but everything then hangs.
I can still connect from remotely to the sshd running on the Mac Mini and if I use Mindterm ssh applet I can still connect out from the Mini to other servers. It seems to be just the SSH client on the Mini that's broken.
Some poking around shows that I have two ssh binaries - 'which ssh' tells me the default is in /usr/bin
/usr/bin/ssh -v; OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
I also have a different version in /usr/local/bin which I
can use to make client connections;
/usr/local/bin/ssh -v; OpenSSH_5.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8i 15 Sep 2008
In other words, an older version of OpenSSH but with a newer version of OpenSSL.
I'm going to have to do some more poking about to find out what isn't working and why.
Has anyone else had ssh problems?
