Hi steveschutzbier,

From Apple discussion board:

The error message received is:

OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 90581f, you have 90602f
* *
--------------------------------

"Following up:

My problem was caused by having two different ssh versions installed simultaneously... one in /usr/local/bin [where the Stepwise package installed it] and one in /usr/bin [the newer Apple-supplied ssh].

"which ssh" found the _older_ version because /usr/local/bin was searched before /usr/bin owing to the "path" variable in my .cshrc file.

Removing the outdated /usr/local/bin/ssh* files (and /usr/local/bin/slogin too, I guess) fixed the problem. "

As an addendum, if you had been using scp, you should also delete that in /usr/local/bin/ since it's also in /usr/bin/ and the older one breaks once you remove ssh.
---------------------------------



It seems you have 2 binary's installed in your system...and you need to remove one or the other.

If you need support:

Hope it helps.

Cheers...

What's the output of ssh -V?

I think your problem is that you have installed an older version of ssh in /usr/bin/

[localhost:~] tor% ssh -V
OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f

You get:
"OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 90581f, you have 90602f"

Try reinstalling ssh 2.9p2.

hi nikon !

you're right !
ssh -v:
OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 90581f, you have 90602f


but one thing:
HOW do i reinstall ssh ? i couldn't find it on the os x cd ?
i searched at versiontracker.com, but there's not version ?

sorry for this stupid reply - but where can i find a ssh-version matching ????
i'm so clueless as you see....


thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
