Hello,
The patched 3.9p1-8.SL.4.21 as well as openssh-3.9p1-8.SL.4.20 have some 
gassapi as well as hpn11 patches in them.  This makes them kerberose 
backward compatible as well as the ability to do very fast transfers.

We haven't had any problems with the patches conflicting with the redhat 
errata updates before, but maybe we now is the first time.

Can you send me the full output you get when ssh'ing when you get an 
error?  And if possible, use a -v to get more output.


Thanks
Troy
p.s. You can send it to just me if you want.
