[Casper] Can't SSH into 10.5 macs - Port 22 Connection Refused

[Thomas Larkin]

Sounds like remote log in is disabled, which allows ssh connections and
is different from remote desktop connections.

I posted this problem a few months back and found a temporary solution
which works but really hamstrings my package pushing capabilities.
Hoping now to find a solution.

The problem is that I cannot SSH into most (but not all) of my 10.5.6
macs on the floor.  That includes localhost on my mac.  All 10.5.6 macs
have had NAV 11 installed.  I’ve uninstalled NAV on some macs during
troubleshooting but I am still not able to connect via SSH.  The
temporary workaround has been to repair disk permissions in Disk Utility
and reboot.  Afterward, I am able to SSH into the machine.  However, I
am denied the next day when I try to SSH into the mac.

Here is a log of me trying to SSH into localhost on my mac:

SEA-LOPEZG:~ lopezgreg$ ssh -vvv localhost
OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to localhost [::1] port 22.
debug1: connect to address ::1 port 22: Connection refused
debug1: Connecting to localhost [fe80::1%lo0] port 22.
debug1: connect to address fe80::1%lo0 port 22: Connection refused
debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

Interestingly, there is one 10.5.6 mac running NAV 11 that I am able to
SSH into.  

Any ideas as to why the connection is refusing on port 22?
