We have had a problem close to this. Two RedHat systems cloned from the same image. Exact same hardware, network drivers, sshd.conf. Identical.
When you use putty (from the sam machine) to connect it works perfect on machine A, but fails on machine B... Or sometimes connects but drops connections randomly. Replaced network cables, different ports on the switch, replaced NIC.... Nothing. Works fine if you SSH from another linux guest. Just PUTTY has the problem. Very odd....

I can use putty to ssh from another Win2K box fine. On my laptop, however when I use putty, I get 'access denied'. I can't find any logging of the error whatsoever, either on the server or on the PC. It doesn't matter whether I'm trying to logon to root or another user. I can use the same putty on my laptop to five other Linux systems here with no problem. I've done the usual Googles on this, and there are dozens of instances of the same problem, but no one ever posts the solution. I hate it when that happens. Has anyone had the same problem? I promise to post the SOLUTION when I have one. login as: root Sent username "root" [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Access denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: login as: scottl Sent username "scottl" [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Access denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Scott Ledbetetr StorageTek ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
