SSH login problem

[shanmuhanandam]

Hi,
I have a hpux 11.11 box. (Secure_Shell A.04.30.006).It is newly installed machine. From other hpux to this machine, ssh is working fine.from windows machine i was trying to ssh the hpux machine thru Putty.But after giving the username and passwd it was not geting connected, simply the window is getting closed.But if i give wrong passwd it again ask for for passwd. that time if i give orginal passwd it is getting connected.I don't know where i made mistake.How to solve the issue?


regards,
shanmugam.

On putty check "Close window on exit -> Only on clean exit" to see what is error. Also check errors in /var/adm/syslog/sylog.log on HP-UX machine.

Shalom,

The log shows an authentication failure. Usually typing in a bad password causes this. There could be problems with the pam authentication library.

Could be a problem with the windows client. Note that the username from a windows box will default to the windows user. To override this behavior ssh user@hpuxbox


You seem to have a critical hardware message in the log. I'd do what the log recommends and check that, though its not related to this issue.

Hi,

Just a thought:
I checked the log.
===
70 port 2646 ssh2

Mar 21 12:08:14 hpux-02 sshd[3954]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for root f

Mar 21 12:08:14 hpux-02 sshd[3954]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for root f
rom 10.218.105.16 port 33393

From putty did you specify the correct port no whey you use ssh. Looks like you are not using the default port no. for ssh.

Hi
Did you ever get a fix for this problem. I am having the same problem and was hoping you could share your fix with me.

Thanks
