ssh client under tru64 unix 5.1b

[rradna]

Would like to use my Alpha 600au PWS under Tru64 Unix ver 5.1b as a SSH client to

sshd hosts on my intra net.  When i ssh host, the screen hangs; no propt for logon; I can putty from one intel

unit to the sshd host successfully; so the problem must be on the alpha side.  I dowloaded

c-kermit_9 to the alpha; c-kermit_9 has an ssh function; when ssh client attempted, the

screen also hanges; no prompt for logon; I can telnet from the alpha to telnetd hosts

with no problem.  Wht am I missing, or not set up properly?  Thanx,  Richard

   Adding "-vvv" to your "ssh" command is often a good start.

   It "hangs" for how long?  Common DNS problems can easily add at least
30s to simple network connections.

   Around here, it generally works:

urtx# sizer -v
