We have SSH installed on four HP-UX 11.00 and 11i machines. We
occasionally receive the message below, grep'd from syslog, on only
one of the machines:

SSH works fine. I've found posts about receiving this message for a
new installation in great numbers, but why would this one server be
getting them only occasionally?

Thnx,

Dave
