	ja vohl.  futher dhclient is there.  I'll go back to comparing

	rt., and this is fedora, my least fav distro.  But I've always had
	trouble   with ssh, even with FBSD.

	no mo' energy.  I hear my bed singing sirens' songs:)

	5 mins later: I ssh'd from tao to ethic then used the ssh-vvv
	for debug.  Somewhere this string shoewd up.  as noted, this 
	is from OBSD:

	SSH2_MSG_IGNORE

	so  if anybody running openbsd or fedora, or anybody who has stubbed
	his toe this way, give a hollar.

	S'All,
