ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Azaru — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:25:46 GMT

Hi All,

I am unable to connect the remote host through ssh. While i am trying to cennect i am getting the following error message.

bkpsvr:root-/>ssh druser@eaidb
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
bkpsvr:root-/>

What could be the reason?
Thanks in advance

Shalom,

It could be any one of a hundred reasons.

ssh daemon may be configured incorrectly or requires a restart. A firewall could be interfering. There could be permissions problems.

The way to find out is to log in to the target server and check its logs. /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Obviously if ssh is down, you may need to use telnet or log onto the system console.

has this ever worked or is this a "new" installation.

if its a new installation, start the sshd manually on the server end with the debug options and see if it ever connects.

If there are any firewalls between the ssh client and the server, it is always a safe bet to start with the firewall admins to see if they are blocking port 22/tcp in the direction of "From client --> To Server". If they do, they need to open it up for ssh to work.

You need to find out where in the negotiation the connection is being closed. Use this command:

ssh -vvv druser@eaidb

Post the results.
