Hello,

I recently updated OpenSSH to the latest stable, but now I cant connect anymore.

When I try to connect with PuTTy I can type my username, but after typing the username and hitting enter it gives me a disconnect message.

The things I checked / tried:
- username is correct configured aka AllowedUser.
- Files are correctly chmod and chown
- SSHD is running

So I tried to run SSHD with the -d option to debug, this is what happened when I started SSHD and connected with PuTTy:

Code:
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.3p2

And then SSHD quits. :'(

What can I do to solve this?
 
Do you still have the old sshd_config from the previous version? Are there some new default options that may be causing a problem?
 
Note to self: never manual install new version of OpenSSH on Fedora.

I did yum remove openssh four times to get rid of it first, then I did yum install openssh to get the latest fedora stable.

Things are working again, still dont know what the problem was about though
