SunSSH erratic behaviour after applying SST (Jass) 4.2 to a Solar is 10 x86 box.

SunManagers,

I have this Solaris 10 x86 box that worked fine (i.e. I could connect to it
via ssh just ok)
I've downloaded and installed SST 4.2 (Solaris Security Toolkit - aka Jass)
and installed it with the -d secure.driver.

After rebooting, I'm experiencing some difficulties logging in via ssh.

1. no changes were made to sshd_config by SST (except Banner /etc/issue)
   [minivip]$ ssh -V
    Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f
   [minivip]$
   Also, I'm not (yet) using SSH keys, just standard unix username/password
authentication

2. I can no longer ssh from a Wintel box using PuTTY (0.58);
   a. PuTTY returns "Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
   b. putty.log logs nothing;
   c. in /var/adm/messages on the Solaris 10 box I get:
      Aug 17 15:39:05 minivip sshd[637]: [ID 947420 auth.warning] refused
connect from 10.40.5.182

3. I can no longer ssh from (the same) Wintel box using
Win32OpenSSH(3.8.1)/cygwin;
   a.
      $ ssh -v -v -v 10.40.5.23
      OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
      debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
      debug1: Connecting to 10.40.5.23 [10.40.5.23] port 22.
      debug1: Connection established.
      debug1: identity file /home/lserena/.ssh/identity type -1
      debug1: identity file /home/lserena/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
      debug1: identity file /home/lserena/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
      ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
   $
   b. in /var/adm/messages on the Solaris 10 box I get:
      Aug 17 15:42:21 minivip sshd[647]: [ID 947420 auth.warning] refused
connect from 10.40.5.182

4. A cmd/DOS "telnet 10.40.5.23 22" seems to go through OK

5. I still can ssh from a Solaris 8 x86 using OpenSSH 4.1
   [nemo]$ ssh -V
   OpenSSH_4.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005
   [nemo]$

6. I still can ssh from a Solaris 9 SPARC
   [birba]$ ssh -V
   SSH Version Sun_SSH_1.0, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
   [birba]$

I even had a look at Sunsolve (Sun Alert ID: 101834)
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-101834-1&searchclau
se=101834
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-101834-1&searchcla
use=101834>
but I've actually patch 119076-05 installed already.

Here is the sshd_config on the Solaris 10 x86 box.
[minivip]/etc/ssh$ cat sshd_config | grep -v "^#" | grep -v "^$"
Protocol 2
Port 22
ListenAddress ::
AllowTcpForwarding no
GatewayPorts no
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
Banner /etc/issue
PrintMotd no
KeepAlive yes
SyslogFacility auth
LogLevel info
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
ServerKeyBits 768
KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
StrictModes yes
LoginGraceTime 600
MaxAuthTries 6
MaxAuthTriesLog 3
PermitEmptyPasswords no
PasswordAuthentication yes
PAMAuthenticationViaKBDInt yes
PermitRootLogin no
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
IgnoreRhosts yes
RhostsAuthentication no
RhostsRSAAuthentication no
RSAAuthentication yes
[minivip]/etc/ssh$

Does anybody know how to get this sorted or could you please point me to the
right direction?

Thanks in advance
