    Hello again.

    There are a few of things to try:

    1) Check to see if DefaultDomain is defined to your default
    domain on the client machine (in your ssh2_config file).
    This needs to be set if the command 'hostname' returns the
    short name of your client machine (which implies that domain
    is defined in your /etc/resolv.conf). If hostname returns
    the long name and domain is defined in resolv.conf, strange
    things may happen.

    2) Post the debug output of a connection attempt (for
    example: ssh -d 4 <ssh_server>) - then we can see what ssh
    thinks it is doing.

    3) Run your daemon in debug mode and post that output.

    Good luck.
