commands, internationalization/localization, and configurable login
attempts. Also, TCP wrappers are compiled and the ssh-keygen command
creates an RSA key by default.)

Quick session disconnects with SSH are a symptom of a second computer
on your network trying to use the same IP address as your machine.

Check your network. DHCP settings could be misconfigured. You may
have to snoop packets to look for duplicate addresses on the wire
and a possible conflicting host.
