SSH issue HPUX to Solaris box

[ganeshan srinivasan]

Ssh connection from HP-UX 11.11i to Solaris 2.6 running Openssh not working. Below is the output:-

# ssh -v gmhsn102
OpenSSH_3.7.1p2-pwexp26, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003

debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
Connection closed by 198.208.168.102
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x40015a3a(0x0)

The next step:-

debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received should have followed but connection is closed instead.

Any ideas? Got it working ok for Solaris 2.8

Hello,

One suggestion, You may upgrade your HP Secure Shell to recent version which is based on OpenSSH 3.9.

The error may be due to following reasons.

1. compatilblity problems
2. Server may implement tcp_wrappers which may deny some hosts.


A detailed server and client log will help to dig more into the problem.
