SSH uses SSL for its encryption, the two on a given system need to be of matching (or near enough) build versions. SSH and SSL on Solaris 10 are Sun supplied so can be reinstalled from the Solaris 10 DVD. To determine what the package names are that provide SH and SSL run:

Code:

$ grep -i ssh /var/sadm/install/contents
$ grep -i ssl /var/sadm/install/contents

The last column will show the names of the packages the SSH and SSL components came from, the names of which usually start with SUNW.

I would value others confirming these steps to resolve the problem but I suggest:
Confirm that the SSH and SSL packages are available on your Solaris 10 DVD.
Back up your system,
Back up your /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config files where they can be easily retrieved if you have changed them from the default.
Reboot into single user mode.
Remove the current SSH and SSL packages.
Mount the DVD (you will probably need to start the volfs service (vold) in order to get the DVD to mount automatically).
Reinstall the packages.
Reinstate your /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config files.
Reboot.
Apply any Sun patches relevant to these packages.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
