Well,

I replaced my SSHD file from backup (keeping the the /usr/bin/ssh for
the client which previously was locking the system up periodically).
It's working with the old SSHD at present. So at least I'm not dead in
the water. I would like to figure this out however as it seems this
should be doable. Obviously this is some type of compilation issue as
the original installed binary is working but mine is not. I've tried
the simpler no options other than path (which of course I need) to no
avail. It must be some type of tweak that is necessary at compile
time. (I'm using the new config from my install with the old sshd
binary by the way)

Regards,

Jim
