What I meant was: 1. Open 2 terminal windows on the box in question. 2. Stop sshd, and restart it in one of the terminal windows with (like you did above). 3. In the other window, type "ssh -v localhost". (I think the options should be right - I double checked it on a debian box with SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5.) The two windows should show you what's going on in the handshaking process between sshd and ssh.
