I can't ssh to Mac OS X Server from my Mac OS X since I applied 10.0.4 Server update. I get a message :

Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1994446171

ssh -V gives :
OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090581f
for Mac OS X

OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090581f
from Mac OS X Server.

Any idea ?
Veni, Vidi, Barty !

10.0.4 breaks OpenSSH, there is a fix script floating around, but essentially all that does is reinstall OpenSSH, so you can search for it or just go to StepWise.com and get the instructions for doing the install yourself.

As far as I know, SSH only breaks with 10.0.4 on the client, not the Server.

Ciao!

I'll reply to myself.

Seems like OpenSSH uses 3des by default after 10.0.4 update.
ssh -c blowfish works.

I had problems yesterday doing this, but I just unchecked the Allow Remote Login, then checked it again - restarted, and it worked fine.

I thought it strange, but alot of settings don't seem to stick in X.
