All,
Has anyone seen these symptons - I'm running SSH 2.0.13 running on Solaris
2.6. I am able to connect to SSH on all of these hosts using my Windows SSH
GUI client (the beta one). However, when I try to use ssh from the UNIX
server I get:
>ssh server1
Accepting host server1 key without checking
malcolm's password:
I enter my password for server1 and it just sits there forever! I can't even
break it. However, I can ssh to server1 using my Windows GUI. Weird stuff!
Does this have anything to do with home drives I wonder. You see, from the
UNIX server i'm ssh'ing from, my home drive is automounted (via automountd).
However, server1 is not NIS enabled and doesn't automount home drives (I
have an account in the local password file).
When I try to ssh from two machines that are both NIS and automount enabled
(so my home drive will the exactly the same on both servers), SSH works
fine. However, when I try the SSH to machines which are not automounting my
home drive (that is, I have a local password and /home directory) ssh just
hangs. But then why does it work for the Windows GUI client?
I love strange problems!
Thanks for your help in advance people,
Mal
