Hey, all! I've got a new Mystic 1.12a47 system running on Ubuntu 22.04 server.
So far so good, telnet access running smoothly.

However, I've followed the instructions on acquiring and compiling cryptlib and
renaming/placing it in /usr/lib, with both cryptlib 3.4.5 and 3.4.6, and SSH
doesn't connect. It just... silently hangs out for a while then disconnects. No
errors are logged to the mis.log or node#.log files, either, as far as I can
see. 

I'm configuring it in Servers for 10 nodes (of 20 max for the system) on port
2222. (Telnet is running the other 10 nodes on 2323.) IPV4 only, bound to
0.0.0.0 (in both cases).

Any thoughts on what might be happening? The most common advice seems to be to
just try every version of cryptlib available until something works, but not
only does that feel a bit haphazard, I'm not 100% sure if I'm even resetting
things properly every time I try a configuration. (I pretty much stop and start
the daemon and also disable/enable SSH in the servers config.)
