It's been awhile, but at one point I made the mistake of installing a new
version of openssl over a ssh link -- and the link was abruptly dropped.
Could have been the make file, perhaps it was regenerating a local key,
replaced the previous libs and did the 'ldconfig' thing. I don't remember
exactly what it did that caused it, but I couldn't get back in until I went
to the console and finished the ssh installation. Pain in the ass.
