Has anyone else noticed the "05:07:31: SSH0: SSH_SMSG_FAILURE message sent" message generated (also below) before you can type in a password? As soon as I am prompted for a password, I enter it and all is well with authentication/use, this just seemed odd. I have not tried another SSH client yet (that may be the problem).
