I'm using SuSE 8.1 as server.

All was working properly this noon.
Sometime this afternoon attempted logins from
remote or loop back from console cause hang.

I found nothing helpful in the logs but I did run
sshd with -d -d -d startup.

I got the following log

1752: debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.4p1
1752: debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.
1752: debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA

MONITOR_ANS_GSSSETUP
1753: debug3: mm_request_receive_expect entering: type 21
1753: debug3: mm_request_receive entering


I assume it must be a corrupt file someplace, but having no luck
finding
it.

I can ssh from the server to another server and
I can telnet to the server in questions.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards...Dan.

Did someone change a NIC?

On the server, no.
No hardware or software changes for several weeks.

These files, sshd is complaining about, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key and
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, do they exist?
As far as I can read those logs, your sshd disables protocoll version 1
because he misses the host keys, i.e. the files named above.
Now, if you try logging in using protocoll version 1, this may cause the
hang, but I can't say that for sure. That's certainly not the problem,
if your ssh-client uses protocoll 2.
But, maybe creating the host keys, or at least one of them, solves the
misbehaving.

There should be noted that it's not advised to use protocol 1 at all, as it's
an easy way in for people who aren't supposed to have access on your system.
Always disable protocol 1 on ssh and use only protocol 2

#from /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Protocol 2
