That's a really good point -- for almost any other error.  "Connection 
refused" means that he couldn't even connect to port 22, so there's 
really nothing about the handshake that verbosity is going to help with. 
  But, again, it's a *really* good point, because if a connection can be 
established, cranking up the verbosity spits out an obscene amount of 
info.  Likewise, server-size, I often fire up "/usr/sbin/sshd -d" to see 
what's happening there.
