Mmmh, sitting on my brain... :) Okay, it generates a heap of output, looks like it's not using protocol 1 at all - which is what I need because of other, older machines around here. Here's the output of a login try from "gate.AAA.AA" to "gate.BBB.BB" (cleared of hostnames and IP addresses): erik@gate:~$ ssh -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090603f debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to gate.BBB.BB [bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/erik/.ssh/identity type 0 debug1: identity file /home/erik/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/erik/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1 pat OpenSSH* Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1 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 sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: dh_gen_key: priv key bits set: 140/256 debug1: bits set: 1620/3191 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'gate.BBB.BB' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/erik/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: bits set: 1648/3191 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: kex_derive_keys debug1: newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: done: ssh_kex2. debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try privkey: /home/erik/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: try privkey: /home/erik/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: next auth method to try is keyboard-interactive debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive debug1: no more auth methods to try Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). debug1: Calling cleanup 0x8063a9c(0x0) cheers, - Erik - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
