Ah! A way to turn up logging! That got me this:
Aug 4 02:06:02 master1 sshd[3590]: error: subsystem: cannot stat
'/usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server: No such file or directory
This seems odd to me since given this...
ls -l /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43268 May 14 2008 /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
Yes, the Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server line is in there.
Thanks to all for the suggestions/advice.
Eric
