1st, yes, I am aware that this are ssh issues, so it may or may not be applicable to this forum. I will ask anyway. 2nd i goggled to fingers off, and could not find any solutions.

After an apparently successfull upgrade from FreeBSD 5.x to 6.4 I am having difficulties ssh'ing into the box.

Here is an extract from my auth.log

/usr/src make clean
cvsup -g -L file with src-all only (to get new src)

then, I followed the handbook instructions to the letter.

make buildworld

make buildkernel

make installkernel

Reboot into single user mode. (this part I did not do)

mergemaster -p

make installworld

mergemaster

Reboot.
 
Please close this thread. I installed the latest version of OpenSSH from source and that appears to have done the trick.
