Removing ssh and scp non-functional

[Nanoscienceguy]

Hello,

I've an odd problem w/ ssh on my Fedora system. This started when using ssh to log onto another system gave a segmentation fault and the support personnel there were concerned my system had a security problem, so they advised to remove openssh and download the latest version from the openssh site. So I first did:

yum remove openssh

and then did a download and install of the latest openssh. This did not fix the segmentation fault error when logging onto the other system via ssh (note that system is the *only* system that gives this error, using ssh elsewhere doesn't have this problem). HOWEVER, after doing this, scp no longer works and my system says it can't be located. Some of the quirky things additionally is after doing the yum remove operation, ssh still works!!! Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get my ssh and scp working properly again?

I am running Fedora Release 11 (Leonidas)
Kernel Linux 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_6

Thanks much!

Also, the segmentation fault error doesn't happen if I first log onto my terminal as root and then do ssh.

Hello all,

Please disregard this post.. I have the fix. Installation of the latest build from the openssh site mirror fixes these issues. The key is the oldest builds are at the top of the mirror site list and the most recent at the very bottom. Unfortunately, I installed the very oldest build, which is from 2002. Thanks to all.
