Unable to connect to server via SSH

[Jojo Castro]

Hi,

Can anyone interpret what does the error below means?
This is because we were not able to connect via ssh.
But can via ftp.

Hi,
I will suspect a bug "segfault"
Googleise it.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=190003
http://osdir.com/ml/debian.devel.ssh/2005-10/msg00028.html
You could try to update some lib and openssh itself.
Hope it helps
