Hello Managers, FYI: Sun Patch # 113273-08 appears to have squashed this bug. Contrary to the generic instructions, I did not reboot the server, merely restarted sshd after the patch was applied. For those unwilling or unable to patch for some reason, setting the LogLevel to 'debug' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config appears to 'workaround' although I have no idea why this might be so. A number of individuals wrote in to correct an error in my original post: OpenSSH is BSD license, not GPL. A greater number of individuals wrote in to tell me, in various ways, essentially I was an idiot for not harmonizing the version of SSH across platforms. While I do understand the rationale for homogeneity, in this case I disagree. The server in question is _the_ primary and very busy production database which was built stripped down and with absolute minimum of software and packages. I don't just throw something on it for an administrative convenience. The SSH interop issue was an annoyance but not serious enough to warrant installing outside packages. If it were any other kind of server but a database I would have just thrown OpenSSH on it and been done with it. Thanks to all who responded.
