OK, I believe it might be a permissions issue, but I don't understand why when I connect from some hosts to 192.168.0.20 I get the error and from others I don't. I don't see the time being wierd. I just see it generating an error message after reading the timezone file. I did an strace -s 512 -f -p... on sshd to check what it was complaining about.

I don't think I can go any further than I have. I'm just going to have to ignore those messages for now. Jed
