Hello, Client is (some netware installation) running: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 Server is plain old FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE running: OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110, OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 When I attempt to connect from client (netware) to server (freebsd) I see: ssh -vvv user@host <0> debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none <0> debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST sent <0> debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP <0> debug2: bits set: 1049/2048 <0> debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent <0> debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY <0> debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/known_hosts <0> debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1 <0> debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/known_hosts <0> debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1 <0> debug1: Host 'host' is known and matches the DSA host key. <0> debug1: Found key in /etc/ssh/known_hosts:1 <0> debug2: bits set: 1010/2048 <0> debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature error <0> fatal: key_verify failed for server_host_key <0> debug1: Calling cleanup 0xa69a0ec0(0x0) <0> debug1: Calling cleanup 0xa6994630(0x0) <0> debug3: DecrementThreadCount() Thread count is now 1 <0> debug1: SSH_NWExit(0) calling SSH_NetWareExit() The key pieces of the error being: <0> debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature error <0> fatal: key_verify failed for server_host_key So then I connect forcing version 1: ssh -vvv -1 user@host and I get: <0> fatal: Selected cipher type <unknown> not supported by server. So if I specify DES: ssh -vvv -1 -c des user@host <0> fatal: Selected cipher type des not supported by server. Finally, I specify 3des, and I get no output at all: ssh -vvv -1 -c 3des user@host the command just completes and I get no output - as if I did not run it at all. Any suggestions ? Has anyone connected from netware to a recent OpenSSH 4.5.x server ? This is one of the newest, if not the very newest release distros of OpenSSH for netware, so we are fairly up to date... Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
