After upgrading my maching to woody (After many tips on x-config from other users--thanks) I decided to go from ssh to ssh2 protocol, since the mail server at work uses this. It works fine and I can connect to the server, use scp, etc.
Now I want to use sshd2 to login to my machine remotely. I edited /etc/inetd.conf to include ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i I also edited hosts.allow to include: sshd : ALL : allow sshdfwd-X11 : ALL : allow sshd1 : ALL : allow sshd2 : ALL : allow So now the sshd2 port starts up when I reboot. And I can login using a public key I generated remotely and copied over(I also edited the authorization and identification files appropriately on both ends). It accepts the passphrase just fine, but then I get the following error: warning: Authentication failed. debug: client_disconnect: Protocol error: packet too long: -1364331183. debug: Ssh2/ssh2.c:76: locally_generated = TRUE warning: Disconnected; protocol error (Protocol error: packet too long: -1364331183.). debug: uninitializing event loop I've looked around, one suggestion is to configure ssh2 without tcp-wrappers (--with-libwrap=no). I have libwrap-0 installed as well, if that matters. The ssh.com FAQ suggests changing the encryption to Blowfish, but the ssh-keygen2 I have doesn't support this. Is the debian woody ssh2 configured with or without libwrap? Should there be another ssh2-nolibwrap distribution, or is there another way to work around this. Also, I've tried connecting without the inetd.conf line (I get an error that there is no TCP/IP connection). I also tried changing the line from sshd to sshd2, but the problem is the same. I had ssh on woody here before without a problem. Any hints??? Thanks, Glen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
