HP-UX 11.0 : SSH PROBLEM

Emizan Abdul Majid — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 04:16:20 GMT

I try to re-setup my SSH connection on my UNIX box. From PC I uses Putty to connect to the server. The problem is only root userid can establish the connection. Others than root it's failed.

When I run command line (at console) "ssh -l testid hostname" where hostname is my UNIX box name, an error says "Connection to {hostname} closed by remote host" appear.

When I check in the syslog.log, the error is "sshd[19014]: fatal: mm_receive_fd: expected type 1 got 1073863176"

Any suggestion?

Thank you.

mizan.

May be logins except root is blocked sshd_config configuration file? Or /etc/profile scripting to block ssh login other than root user.

Hi,
check ur sshd_Config file for the followin line
"UsePrivilegeSeparation yes"
This must be set to yes in ur machine, that's why u r facing pbm for other users.

Make it "no".

HTH,

Hi,
After editing ur sshd_config, restart ur sshd deamon. Also check for the entries /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow, bez tcp wrapper may be running on ur machine, which may block users other than root to login to ur machine.

Thanks to forum member...I've found the solution. Modify the sshd_config file and set
"UsePrivilegeSeparation yes" to "UsePrivilegeSeparation no".

Thanks to Senthil Prabu.S.
