I am logging into a Redhat Linux 6.2 server with OpenSSL 0.9.6 and OpenSSH 2.3p1 running through inetd. On my client side, I have SSH2.4 installed (will this make a diff?). Here is the line from inetd.conf: ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/sshd -i Here is the error message I get when using slogin with the -v option: SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0p1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f). debug: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug: Applying options for * debug: Seeding random number generator debug: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 0 anon 0 debug: Connecting to 172.16.1.13 [172.16.1.13] port 22. debug: Seeding random number generator debug: Allocated local port 708. debug: Connection established. ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host debug: Calling cleanup 0x805d910(0x0) Btw, if anyone is getting a Bad Packet Length error, I figured it out (at least for me): you are wrapping sshd in tcpd (tcpwrappers).
