Re: sshd and kernels > 2.6.8

Also, the 'man' command no longer works.
I reinstalled the sshd package and it replaced the ssh_config file, which says
nothing about ssh-askpass or anything.

nathan@deadsoul:~$ man ssh
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man && (echo ".ll 15.1i"; echo ".pl
1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/man/man1/ssh.1.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl
\n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -S -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -is)
exited with status 256.
No manual entry for ssh


But under 2.6.7 it works just peachy!

The only thing I changed in my kernel between subversions is I enabled the
ondemand cpu scheduler.
