Bug#343896: ilo ssh bug fixed
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
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26620.html
and the changelog
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/revision/9014.html
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.
