Hi All,
We heard about the security hole in RedHat Linux V7.0's version
of openssh, so we grabbed the patched version from
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/openssh*
However, this version doesn't work for us. We rebuilt a new key
and deleted all our old keys, but whenever we try to ssh into our
linux box, we get this error:
warning: Authentication failed.
warning:
Disconnected; key exchange or algorith negotiation failed (Key exchange
failed.).
In verbose mode, this is the error message:
ssh -v wookie
warning: Development-time debugging not compiled in.
warning: To enable, configure with --enable-debug and recompile.
debug: hostname is 'wookie'.
debug: Unable to open /home/serveme/cld/.ssh2/ssh2_config
warning: Development-time debugging not compiled in.
warning: To enable, configure with --enable-debug and recompile.

debug: Ssh2/ssh2.c:77/client_disconnect: locally_generated = TRUE
warning:
Disconnected; key exchange or algorith negotiation failed (Key exchange

Does anyone have a clue to what this means? If we explicitely force
ssh to use version 1 with the non-openssh ssh1 command (from ssh.com)
this also works.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Hi
I checked the make file for the source but there was no target "bzlilo".
And i checked the created files and there was no System.map after the
compilation. However, ther WAS a version with my old kernel. How can I get
a new version for the new kernel?
Thanks

Dave,
What if W2K pro is on MSFT instead of FAT32? Linux cannot recognize
MSFT, right? Can you put LILO on W2K somehow?

Well, Doc, my guess would be that you 'copied' a cpp source to main.cpp
and didn't start a project by using the framework. If you go to the
"project" menu option and click 'new' you will be faced with several app
frameworks, Choose one that suits you and let it generate the complete set
of required project files. Then edit the resulting 'main.cpp' source file
to say 'Hello World" and click the build menu option.

Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or
proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical
history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites-
are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.

I copied the new boot image with along with the new System.map files to

I also have a 4l and it work very well EXCEPT printing scans- they look

You're not the onlyone with that problem.
One of my linux boxes (a dell latitude cpi) has the same problem
with the 2.4 kernel. And we are not the onlyone, I've seen threads
on this problem in multiple newsgroups.
Someone told me to use initrd to boot, but I didn't try it yet.
I think it was on alt.os.linux, go to deja.com/usenet and
search for 'kernel 2.4 boot' if you want to find more on
that one.
Hope this helps,
(and if you find the solution, will you post it here???)
Thanks,
Frederic
