Try VersionAddendum "" then. restarting the sshd daemon does not close your existing ssh connections. do it, (invoke-rc.d ssh restart) make sure the daemon accepts new connections (ssh from another terminal window), and if you can't login, back out the change, restart sshd again and confirm you can login. It's always worth having a different channel to a machine if ssh fails, such as a remote server management system with a built-in local terminal (HP ones give you a java applet which emulates a local keyboard and VGA monitor), or a serial console connection to a serial multiplexer tool, or a route to the 'console' for a virtual machine (many VPS providers will offer this) -- Jon Dowland
