Yahoo! Groups : macosx-support Messages : Message 14529 of 14568 I had a problem with ssh recently and I believe it occurred after one

of the software updates.

Check /var/log/system.log for error messages from sshd. In my case,

the permissions for my home directory were set to allow write access

for anyone of group "staff". To fix it, I opened a Terminal window,

then used the command "chmod 740 /Users/login_id".
