openssh unix dev - Nov 2000 - openssh-2.3.0p1-1 with RedHat 6.2 - Bad packet length

I haven't been able to get scp to work with RedHat 6.2 (select: Bad file
descriptor), so...  I tried upgrading with openssh-2.3.0p1-1.src.rpm and
openssl-0.9.5a-3.src.rpm  No joy.  When running just ssh, I get
"Disconnecting: Bad packet length 795178083."

This seems to be a problem with sshd, since the 2.3 ssh client will work
fine with a 2.1 server (but not scp, which still gives "select: Bad file
descriptor".

Any suggestions?

Please Cc me on any response, as I'm not subscribed to the list.  Thanks.

I've gotten the "select: Bad file descriptor" from not having the
binary scp
in the PATH that sshd sets on the server side when my scp running ssh
connects.  This error message should probably be made more informative.

About the "Bad packet length" I've only gotten that when trying to
play with
F-Secure SSH.  I solved this problem by surrounding myself with mostly
OpenSSH.
