The version of sshd in FreeBSD 8.4 is not backward compatible with older version from 8.3. OpenSSH_5.4p1 (on FreeBSD 8.3) OpenSSH_6.1p1 (on FreeBSD 8.4) # sshd -t /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 19: Missing argument. On line 19, there is: VersionAddendum It was OK in older versions. It will remove any default text appended to SSH protocol banner (for example 'FreeBSD-20120901'). On FreeBSD 8.4, there must be some string (any single character) I was really badly surprised that the machine was re-booted without ssh access! I think this change is worth to mention in Release Notes Miroslav Lachman
