So here's the deal. One of my users just bought a small MacBook to keep her MacBook Pro company. Both are running fully updated Leopard.
She can log into our computing cluster login node, which is running SL4.7, just fine with her MacBook Pro. When she attempts to log into the same host with her MacBook, she gets this: bash-3.2$ ssh -vv cluster.econ.columbia.edu OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to cluster.econ.columbia.edu [128.59.160.209] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /Users/(masked)/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/(masked)/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/(masked)/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host bash-3.2$ No password is requested, although that should be the fallback authentication method. /etc/ssh_config on both her Macs are box stock: all the defaults are listed as comments. HOWEVER, not only can she log into assorted non-SL unix and linux systems with her new MacBook, she can log into a host running SL5.3. /etc/sshd_config on both the SL4.7 and SL5.3 box are just as they come from the rpm, except for: PermitRootLogin no SL4.7 ----- openssh-3.9p1-11.el4_7.x86_64 openssh-askpass-3.9p1-11.el4_7.x86_64 openssh-askpass-gnome-3.9p1-11.el4_7.x86_64 openssh-clients-3.9p1-11.el4_7.x86_64 openssh-server-3.9p1-11.el4_7.x86_64 SL5.3 ----- openssh-4.3p2-29.el5.x86_64 openssh-askpass-4.3p2-29.el5.x86_64 openssh-clients-4.3p2-29.el5.x86_64 openssh-server-4.3p2-29.el5.x86_64 Anyone have ANY IDEA what's going on?
