RE: Req Help: sshd error: Read from socket failed: Connection aborted


Max,

You're a genius. I did have Viruscan 7 installed but not the firewall.
Everything works perfectly now with it uninstalled. I guess I'll have to
go with Norton Antivirus. There isn't by chance a workaround for the
McAfee Viruscan problem, is there?

I did a search in the mailing list for "McAfee sshd" and saw Campbell
Fethers post detailing this problem and solution. Can't believe I missed
it before. 

Thanks again,

Min Kim

McAfee 7 has apparently caused a problem like this for someone in the
past.
Do you use it?

Max.
