I have a 7.0-RELEASE box that I setup a few weeks ago for testing, and
I just now tried to sftp into it and get the following:

kevin@darkhorse [~]$ sftp 172.20.30.12
Connecting to 172.20.30.12...

(banner snipped)

Password:
Received message too long 173305700
kevin@darkhorse [~]$

I can SSH into the box all day long, but I can't sFTP or scp anything
to it.  Here's the /etc/ssh/sshd_conf (stock config with the modified
Banner line):

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a
# default value.

# Note that some of FreeBSD's defaults differ from OpenBSD's, and
# FreeBSD has a few additional options.

#VersionAddendum FreeBSD-20061110

#Port 22

Has anyone noticed this before?  I didn't have any luck with search engines..

Thanks,
