So the offending lines are:
Jan 23 11:39:26 dopeman sshd: Starting sshd:
Jan 23 11:39:26 dopeman sshd: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 56: Bad configuration option: AllowTcpForwarding
Jan 23 11:39:26 dopeman sshd: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
Jan 23 11:39:26 dopeman sshd: sshd startup failed
Jan 23 11:39:27 dopeman sshd:

So I may be able to fix it without ssh. I don’t really know how yet. but I imagine I will be able to hehe :). All I have to say, is that oar.net is probably the best colo facility I have ever dealt with. They rule. Whe I call the 800 number some guy answers. hehe. no machine. no pressing numbers. no extensions. it is amazing. On another note. I totally am back into the faint. hah
