Secure Shell Login Problem

[RIACDC]

I am not able to login into a server from client. I validated that the ssh2d daemon is running. Actually, stopped and restarted, but still could not login. I can ping internal IP's to ssh clients to and from this server from the console with success. I don't believe there is a network/configuration issue. Client is installed with ssh 5.2 Build 10 and the server I am trying to connect to is using Open SSH 3.6.1p2

From client post ssh -vvv "server"
From server opst sshd -ddd

This can have many causes.
As Anil said, you get varying degrees of verbosity output from the ssh client from 1-3 -v that will usually point you to the problem.
Sometimes it's too permissive rights on the user's $HOME/.ssh dir or private key files,
sometimes the remote login has expired etc.

Anvil,

Perfect! Your solution solved my issue.

Okay then, what are these commands or can you explain what they do?

Thanks,

if you are getting connection refused messages then it is more likely that a firewall is blocking your connections to the ssh server.

Good, you youself solved it. Everyting there is the man pages. man ssh and man sshd

It adds the debugging information.

Gentleman,

Anvil corrected my issue with using secure shell to login into an HP-UX client to server and reverse.

I just attempted to login into this server using a windows based ssh client, but this client fails to connect to the server. Is there a similiar command set to faciliate windows ssh client to HP-UX server connectivity. My windows client can ping my HP-UX sshe server.
