this problem occurs with both 2.4 and 3.0
i have 4 DigitalAlpha XP1000s, Tru64 4.0F on the subdomain bio.school.edu
and 2 older Alphas, also running 4.0F on the subdomain ams.school.edu.
SSh is compiled on the XP100 which houses our /usr/local/, and works fine
on the xp100s, but the ams machines cannot even ssh to localhost
all machines should be configured pretty much the same, they are all on
NIS and have all keys in /etc/ssh2/knownhosts
/etc/ssh2/*config files are all links to /usr/local/etc/ssh2/*config
