How is it changing the speed of your boot? I've actually just done a 4.3 CD upgrade, but not from 4.2, and it worked. Can you give the modification times of your libcrypto and ssh, and make sure you're executing /usr/bin/ssh. And the output of 'ld /usr/bin/ssh'. Perhaps truss an ssh to a host and disconnect immediately. It might be failing after trying to open or read from /dev/urandom. Can you give the output of 'ls -l /dev/*random'? Maybe someone will have something useful to go on from the information above instead of "it doesn't work".
