No, they gave me an account ID to use but there was supposed to be no passwords exchanged -- we were just using the keys to authenticate.

Peter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelly Thomas Sent: 03 July 2007 17:46 To: [email protected] Subject: Connecting to host We have recently been asked by one of our vendors to connect to their system through SSH. They are a Unix Host - beyond that, I don't have much information. We are a 'windows' shop and I'm using Putty version 0.60 to connect with a Windows XP Professional machine. I have created a public key and sent it to them. They have also sent their public key to me. From what they're telling me, there should be no password to connect. When I try to connect it first asks for my passphrase. I'm assuming it will only do that the first time to validate my key - not sure. After typing in my passphrase for the key, I get a disconnect message: Server sent disconnect message type 7 (service not available): "Unsupported request (pty-req)." This message appears to be something on their end but they are telling me it's on my end. Can anyone help?
