I have the following on my FC6 box, and haven't noticed problems like
you mention when sshing to other boxes.
$ rpm -qa \*openssh\*
openssh-askpass-4.3p2-19.fc6
openssh-clients-4.3p2-19.fc6
openssh-server-4.3p2-19.fc6
openssh-4.3p2-19.fc6
e.g. A local server I ssh to has:
$ rpm -qa \*openssh\*
openssh-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-server-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-clients-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-askpass-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-askpass-gnome-4.2p1-fc4.10
You might ask if your uni has a timeout policy.
Incidentally, if someone can tell me why "rpm -qa openssh-\*" doesn't
return "openssh-4.3p2-19.fc6" in the list, but "rpm -qa openssh\*" does,
I'd like to know.

important to the thread.)
Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
