Excuse me Chuck but the problem is clear. When you do ssh -v SERVER.DOMAIN
you obtain an output similar to the following: " OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to wall [141.250.199.62] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/marcop/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/marcop/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/marcop/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_3.9p1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.9p1 pat OpenSSH_3.* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'wall' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/marcop/.ssh/known_hosts:87 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.

I don't know what "Unspecified GSS failure" means. I have no kerberos system installed in my network (maybe could be this?). However my problem was related to the fact that connecting to a server via ssh, apart from displaying the error indicated above (GSS failure), it took to long. I found that the problem was related to the fact that GSSAPIAuthentication was on by default on ssh server and the server had no reverse dns IP (it has a private address). Disabling GSSAPIAuthentication fixed the issue for me. I obtain the same error (GSS failure) also connecting to other server that have correct DNS config and GSSAPIAuthentication enabled but in these servers I don't realize about the error because of there is no delay in the connection (thanks to right DNS direct and reverse loookup). I say again that I don't know GSSAPI so if the error could be related to the fact that I have no kerberos system we could mark the bug as "invalid" or similar. -- ssh -v reports "debug1 - unspecified gss failure. minor code may provide more information" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
