[NTLUG:Discuss] terminal error

[Chris Cox]

Also...try running ssh as root using strace -f and capture the output.  See
if it provides any useful hints (not for the faint of heart btw).  Easiest
if you run a sshd on your local box and connect to yourself.

# /usr/local/sbin/sshd
# strace -f /usr/local/bin/ssh1 myhost >yukola.out 2>&1
myrootpasswd
exit
# vi yukola.out
