If not, it doesn't work, as it assumes they're compromised, or something to that effect. -Mike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania

If you are able to run the sshd daemon on the server, you can have it listen on a different port (so the system daemon can still be running), and you can up the the debugging/verbosity level on the server process. Don't run it in the background. You watch the debugging on both processes and usually determine the problem.
