Bug#343896: ilo ssh bug fixed

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

The bug in HP's integrated Lights Out 2 (iLO2) that was causing problems when 
connecting with openssh has been fixed in the iLO2 firmware.

It was fixed in iLO2 firmware version 1.24 released on 27 Oct 2006.

As of 16 Apr 2007 (when I'm writing this) the latest version of iLO2
  firmware is 1.29, released on 20 Mar 2007. Here is the URL

and the changelog

The latest "Firmware Update CD" (version 7.70, 1 Feb 2007) contains version 
1.26 of the iLO2 firmware, which is new enough to fix the openssh problem, but 
not the latest version. Here's the URL

and the changelog

The Firmware Update CD is a pretty convienent way to upgrade all the firmwares 
on the system at once (but requires console access). I expect future versions 
of the Firmware Update CD will probably include the latest iLO2 update, but 
depending on your equipment and usage, maybe this version that fixes the 
openssh bug is enough and convienent.
