I experienced this bug in Ubuntu 6.06 Desktop version (32-bit PC). If I haven't created ssh-key, then it asks passwords and works fine. But when I created ssh-key for a single account. After that every other account that didn't have a ssh-key, hang. When I removed the ssh-key files and rebooted, everything worked fine again. ( ssh-keys generated via: ssh-keygen -t rsa )
I was connecting to two different computers, both where Ubuntu 6.0.6 Desktop editions and both where running the ssh server that comes with Ubuntu. Normal ssh connection via command line (ssh) works fine. Both servers where in local network. My workaround was to create ssh-key for every single account, but that requires a lot of work when one has several accounts. -- [Dapper] sftp hangs if I haven't done ssh-add https://launchpad.net/bugs/39149 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
