Would help to know what you mean by "cannot ssh."
Did you upgrade client or server or both?
What exactly happens when you try to connect?

Generally:
client just sits there:  firewall issue
"Connection closed by remote host" message:  access control (hosts.* files)
Password prompt but fails to login:  username/password problem

You should be able to do "tail -f /var/log/messages" on the
server and see what is happening when you attempt to ssh.
