Responding (as you have been) with EXACT error and screen capture is good. Logs and configurations are great also. # tail /var/log/secure # tail /var/log/messages ssh -version cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config |mail myaddresswhereicanforwardtocraigpersonallyforhelpoffline Craig is usually one of the ones with sufficient help assist experience to get you external to the problem (because your bandwidth or memory/ram are swapping with the level of complexity and you can't think critically) to help compare and dissect the error messages or fix within his experience. You can always directly email me also. I hope you got this figured out?
