No.  I've updated my Mac OS X from 1.5 to 1.6 (snow leopard)

<div>
Try deleting ~/.ssh/known_hosts?<br />
<br />
I don't know for sure if there is any difference in the file format between 10.5 and 10.6 but from my experience it fixes pretty much all ssh issues.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I just upgraded my os x from 1.5 to 1.6. &nbsp; Prior to that, I used to SSH to my development box and had no issues. &nbsp;Now, my ssh session prompts me with the user password and once I enter the password, the terminal freezes. &nbsp;I don't get a cmd prompt, I can't Ctrl+C. I can't &quot;exit&quot;. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What changed? <br />
<br />
I saw a similar question here on experts-exchange saying that I must modify my sshd_config file and add &quot;ServerAliveInterval 120&quot; to the file. &nbsp;But that seems to be a solution for a disconnected session, and secondly, does not work for me. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
please help. <br />

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.
