Thanks to everyone for the pointers on this one I've rebuilt the kernels and we'll see what happens. Seems like they got in because on most of the machines I had an ancient sshd_config which allowed Protocol 1. When I installed newer sshds the newer sshd_config got stuck in as a ".rpmnew" file. >

Hangup using USB Flash "Disks"

Please CC me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I'm not subscribed. I'm using kernel 2.6.8.1 (from Mandrake 10.1 I usually like to build a custom kernel for each machine we've got). I've recently taken to using USB Flash "Disks" to carry stuff around on and I've not had any problems except on one machine.wi
