It doesn't look like ssh is running at all. Maybe it didn't get installed properly?
ipkg status openssh-clientshould return:
Package: openssh-client
Status: install ok installed
Root: /
Version: 3.6.1p1
If thepackage is installed properly,
ssh -Vshould return
OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702fssh without arguments should output about two pages worth of help.
