Maybe I should note that the Windows hosts file referred to the localhost as
"::1", a format I am not familiar with (maybe something related to IPv6?). The
results below were obtained after I commented that line out and replaced it
with:
127.0.0.1 localhost
I am playing with two computers running XP and Vista respectively. I also
added lines to hosts for their static local IPs.
It looks like this is a situation where most cases of logging in with ssh
succeed, but one does not.
Using openSSH from cygwin as both client and server I can login:
- from XP to Vista
- from XP to XP using the local IP address of XP
- from XP to XP using ssh localhost
- from Vista to XP
- from Vista to Vista using the local IP address of Vista
I can't login:
- from Vista to Vista using ssh localhost (see previous post)
This is probably enough to get Unison to work, although I always worry that
something that is not configured correctly will come back to bite me.
