Hi all,

Please help, I cannot use ssh to connect to the machine shown below
after a system crash.

My system environment is
SuSE SLES 9 SP2 on ppc64
2.6.5-7.191-pseries64
openssh-3.8p1-37.17

when I start sshd, the messages are
client1a:~ # /etc/init.d/sshd start
Starting SSH daemonfree(): invalid pointer 0x10063e30!

                                         done

no response when running
