Again, what happens when you attempt to connect from/to the same

If that works, try from the Mac Terminal instead of Fugu and let us
know the results.
Both the remote terminal and local terminal give the same error.

I think at this point I'd try "aptitude purge ssh && aptitude install
ssh", from the command line. (It's irrational, I know, but I just don't
trust Synaptic as much as I do aptitude.)
Does the error occur after entering your password, or before you even
get a password prompt?
But you can ssh fine? What about scp?
You might "tail /var/log/auth.log" for clues.
Can you verify that /usr/bin/sshd is running (as opposed to some other
sshd)? As in:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk> ps ax | grep ss[h]
17652 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
Also, I don't know if this is related, but attempting to connect
through ssh as root gets a "Bad Password" message, yet the password is
accepted when used locally.
IIRC, it used to be that sshd_config had "PermitRootLogin=no", but I
think in more recent times it's set to yes (which seems unwise to me).
