Dear Bryan,
Merry Christmas, and thank you for pushing me to experiment with
netstat (and thus reading the netstat man page). It was at least
educational. Unfortunately, my problem is still not solved, though
I'm learning some interesting things about my computer.

I get exactly what you have above. And with "netstat -l -n" I can see
that it's listening on port 22, which seems to be correct. My SuSE box
is also listening on port 22.

No, it was a clean install.

Will do. Here it is below:

# This is ssh client systemwide configuration file. See ssh(1) for more

# Configuration data is parsed as follows:

# 2. user-specific file
# 3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
