Panther 10.3.2 Breaks ssh
I upgraded my work machine to 10.3.2 this morning and now attempting to ssh out not only doesn’t work, it takes the whole system down with it. This occurs when trying to ssh locally or when another user is remotely logged in and attempts to run ssh. I see that the ssh binary was modified during the installation, which is what I assume is causing the problem.
I’m wondering if replacing the binary with a different one would fix it…
Update: It turns out that the binary was corrupted, probably because it was running or was started while being upgraded. Kung-Tunes was probably the culprit, since it automatically uploads via ssh. I installed the update at home on my iMac with no problems at all.

You were right, George—the ssh binary was corrupted, but my md5 sum is different from yours anyway. I just installed from source from http://www.openssh.org, configuring with ./configure —prefix=/usr to put it in /usr/bin rather than /usr/local/bin. Worked like a charm.
I figure I must have had ssh running (via Kung-Tunes) while installing the update, which it didn’t like. Next time, I’ll make sure it isn’t running.

George:
I don’t have the same problem, but you might want to try OpenSSH from Fink if you want to deep geek it. Also, the md5 sum for my SSH binary is 3b8b06158ab8c7ae758c886f925d9274, if yours isn’t then you’ve got a corrupted copy. You can get the md5 sum by running this on the terminal: md5 /usr/bin/ssh
