Hello,

Which version of sshd do you use?

ssh -V

Here you can find the latest depot:

If you don't have a more recent version of the Cumulative ARPA Transport patch, you may see this error. The newer SSH is trying to use an older setsockopt() library function which doesn't support the SO_KEEPALIVE option.

On my patched HP system, the /usr/include/sys/socket.h file is dated December 17, 2008.
