Hi to everybody...
I tried to find a workaround to my problem in the forums but nothing came up, so I start this topic...
Today I tried to SSH from my PC (Windows) to the SME Server box (SME 7.2, fully updated), but I kept getting the error "Server closed remote connection". Both PCs are on the same LAN-subnet and everything was working OK about a month ago, using either Putty or Secure Shell, but I only noticed this behaviour today.
Here is the latest part of my sshd.log file:

As you can see, SSH started producing errors on August, 9 .....
I found out that the same day, the openssh package was automatically updated by SME, as you can see below:
Aug 09 10:41:12 Updated: e-smith-openssh.noarch 1.12.0-9.el4.sme
Could have something gone wrong with the update??
I have direct access to the SME box, and also normal access to the Server Manager via http...Options on remote networks for SSH are enabled, and have tried both Public and private option, but still the same issue......I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling SSH, but I would like your help on this, or any other workaround you feel free to offer...
Thank you in advance,
Mike
