I hadn't changed anything. I restarted sshd, but that didn't help. The log files show hundreds of 'login failures' from the script kiddies, but that is typical. Trying again a couple of hours later, and I can ssh just fine. No changes, nothing. Has anyone seen this, or knows what is going on? Thanks Scott -- sdb@ssr.com
