Apologies to those of you also on indiana-discuss, who'll get this twice :-(
Since about build 99, I've been getting some unexpected failures when sshing from an OpenSolaris machine to another machine using a different username, eg user at remote. But the problems only occur when I'm sshing from a GNOME session - maybe there's some strange interaction with the GNOME keyring? So a working session looks like this: [ssh -v user at remote] debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/cjr/.ssh/identity debug1: Trying public key: /home/cjr/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Trying public key: /home/cjr/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive Password: debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive) debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: send channel open 0 debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: ssh_session2_setup: id 0 debug1: channel request 0: env debug1: channel request 0: pty-req debug1: channel request 0: shell debug1: fd 4 setting TCP_NODELAY debug1: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 Last login: Thu Nov 6 16:06:55 2008 from canopus.isode.net [...] A non-working session from GNOME ends like this: debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering agent key: id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Offering agent key: id_rsa.old debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Offering agent key: id_dsa.old debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Offering agent key: id_dsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Offering agent key: id_rsa1k debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Trying private key: /home/cjr/.ssh/identity debug1: Trying public key: /home/cjr/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactive debug1: Trying public key: /home/cjr/.ssh/id_dsa Received disconnect from 172.16.0.1: 2: Too many authentication failures for user debug1: Calling cleanup 0x80798f0(0x0) [NB 172.16.0.1 is the remote machine] This all used to work before build 99, using ssh-agent. What needs to be done (RTFM?) to make it work again? Cheers, Chris
