Locked Out While Upgrading SSL (Netbsd)
I was attempting to upgrade SSL on my netbsd machine and after a 'make install' I was logged out(I was logged in via ssh), and when I attempted to log back in(via ssh) I was given this message: "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" So I went and attempted to log in the the actual machine and couldn't everytime I would enter any username including root at the prompt and hit enter I was not prompted for a password, it just asked for the login name again. I rebooted and the same thing happens. When I attempt to log in via ssh I get: "Connection closed by $IP". Any help is appreciated.

#NOTE I've already booted into singe user mode and looked for anything odd, but could find nothing(maybe I don't know what to look for). I also edited /etc/rc.conf to prevent sshd from starting to see if it was causing the problem, but it wasn't. And I reset the root password too just in case, but it had no effect. I'm out of ideas.

#FIXED Okay it seems I somehow screwed up the login script and it was crashing when I attempted to login. I just got out the old install CD, did an upgrade, and it's fixed.

gnome-ssh-askpass

GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)

NAME

       gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-ssh-askpass

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-ssh-askpass  is  a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
       invoked directly.  It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
       is  available).	This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
       grams, for example.

       In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are recognized:

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase.

       Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab().

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> for the Debian system (but may be used by others).  It was based on that
       for x11-ssh-askpass by Philip Hands.
