Hi all,

I've got a problem to get a unix and a vms box communicate. The two servers are on the same lan,i can connect with ssh from unix client to vms server, but it doesn't work from the other side.. seebelow the error message:

SSH authetication can be done in three ways.
PAssword based, host based and exchange of public/priv keys.

If you do not set preferred method (sshd_config file)

You have not set any preferred method. To set exchange of public/private keys, you will have to use ssh-keygen command and generate the keys and distribute them to the clients. (authorized_keys file)

Also in your message the protocol mismatch is noticed. You can set than on ssh command line or in sshd_Config file.

Set preferred method and then try.

Hello,

I've already changed the method in Password, which is easier for tests. On client+ server config file;on unix+vms.

The fact is that scp is working with vms serving, and ssh is working with UX box serving.... very strange ...

Any idea

Thanks in advance
