SSH issue!!

[Amit Manna_6]

From a HP server when we do ssh (hostname) to another server I get the followingf error:

/opt/ssh/bin/ssh tldnms
Permission denied.

Can anybody suggest a workaround for the same.

It is coming from another server-tldnms. Check on that server. May be you are not allowed to log onto it. Check syslog, dmesg on that server.

Also ssh -vvv tldnms will give more messages for anlyzing yourm problem.

Are you executing this command as a root or normal user ?

Check this thread, http://forums2.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=776938

[VEL_1]

check the ~/.ssh/known_hosts for an existing entry for the conflicting box
and check that your firewall settings allow connections on port 22

[VEL_1]

Check the permission of ssh config files. An dalso check the /bin directory. It should be 755.

Permission denied may be anywhere along the path, not the file itself. so look at /bin and / also.

I am trying from normal user.

ssh -v tldnms

I am getting the above error.

Please advice.

ssh -vvv would have been better. Looks as if root is not allowed to login directly on the server. If you want to login in as another user, do ssh user@tldnms

Are you sure that you input the correct root password for the machine tldnms. Can you login to this machine by any other means (telnet, ftp, etc.) using this password. Maybe the root password has expired or the root account is disabled.
If you can login to tldnms than check if there are any messages in the syslog

grep sshd /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
