I had to cut this should due to the length of the logs (5Mb). This one looks odd. The ssh session itself looks OK: it authenticates then sends a printf shell command (basically, just a way of guaranteeing a minimum amount of output being sent back: > debug1: Sending command: printf "%4096s" " " The session then closes OK but ssh exists with a -1 error code, which gets propagated back up the stack as a failure. > debug1: Exit status -1 Exit statuses in POSIX should be 0-255. We can see in the sshd.log that the server sent an exit status (session_exit_message), so either your printf command/builtin returns a bogus exit code, or ssh is mishandling it. What's the return code of printf? ie: printf "%4096s" " "; echo $? -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience.
