If you installed your own version of SSH (particulary using instructions from Stepwise) under 10.0.4, you may get an error such as this

OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 90581f, you have 90602f

when you try to use SSH in 10.1. Stepwise has the solution in the form of a "SSHCleanup.command" shell script; click here to view the script's contents. To use it, copy and paste the text into a new text file and name it "ssh-cleanup.command". Save the file (in pure text format), then open a terminal and type sudo sh ssh-cleanup.command in the directory where you saved the file.

This should fix your SSH problems in 10.1. Thanks to Peter H. for finding both the error and the solution.
