Hello,
I'd like to get back to an earlier posting of mine (still unresolved).
I'm having problems with OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 on a PC laptop running Linux Mandrake
7.0-2 with an ADSL connection using Roaring Penguin's PPPoE. I'm trying to
connect to a server (Sun Solaris 2.6) also running OpenSSH 2.3.0p1. I can
connect to the server from another Sun box using another older version of ssh
(using only ssh1) as well as from a Win98 PC using F-Secure SSH2. In the latter
case public key authentication does not seem to work, but I get through using
password authentication (this is being discussed on another thread...).
On the Mandrake box, however, the following happens (with the sensitive info
replaced by dummy arguments, as I'm a bit paranoid ;):
$ ssh -v -l remote_user remote_ssh_server.remote_domain
SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0p1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x0090600f).
debug: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug: Seeding random number generator
debug: ssh_connect: getuid 501 geteuid 0 anon 0
debug: Connecting to remote_ssh_server.remote_domain [AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD] port 22.
debug: Seeding random number generator
debug: Allocated local port 875.
And that's it :(! ssh just sits there, without doing anything. I have to kill
the process or use Ctrl-C to get the prompt back. After a looong time the
connection times out and it tries to connect again, without succeeding. I can
ping and ftp the server in question without problems. The strange thing is that
there is NOTHING in the server's logs(?).
I first installed using Mandrake 7.0 rpms, then uninstalled everything and
installed both OpenSSL 0.96 and OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 directly from tthe tarballs.
Configuring, make:ing and installing went without a hitch.
Can anyone help? Where should I start? I'm stumped :(. Is there something I may
have forgotten while installing?
Olof
