Hi Everyone, I am new to this so please bear with me. I installed linux ssh-client SSH Version 1.2.27 and am trying to log onto solaris servers that have ssh insstalled and sshd running. On the server the commands # pkginfo -l | grep ssh and # ps -ef | grep sshd gave the following output respectively : PKGINST: ssh NAME: ssh VERSION: ssh 1.2.13 root 537 1 0 Apr 16 ? 0:00 /opt/ssh/sbin/sshd -f /opt/ssh/etc/ssh2/sshd2_config Leading me to believe it has sshd running. >From my workstation running Linux (Mandrake) I get the following output when I do # ssh -v <Servername OR ServerIPaddress> SSH Version 1.2.27 [i686-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5. Standard version. Does not use RSAREF. h233-myworkstation.com: ssh_connect: getuid 501 geteuid 501 anon 1 h233-myworkstation.com: Connecting to ##.##.##.## port 22. h233-myworkstation.com: Connection established. h233-myworkstation.com: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version 2.0.13 (non-commercial) h233-myworkstation.com: Waiting for server public key. Connection closed by remote host. Can someone please explain what is going on here and how to resolve it. The man pages and faq's haven't helped. Please recommend a ssh beginners book too. Thanks in advance, daniel. ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
