I have two strange errors but I am not sure whether they are related.

ERROR-2: sshd disconnects (drops) client connections immediately after

/var/log/auth.log for ssh shows:

Thanks for any advice on how to resolve these two issues.


The gnome keyring demon does that. I believe it's only warning and I've never dug in to the source to find out more but I think it's something it can only do on Linux. I'm sure someone will be along in a minute with something to say about that.

As to the second problem - csh: No such file or directory. At the risk of pointing out the trivial, is root's home directory valid? Why not post /etc/passwd and we'll check :-)

Could it be a dud /root/.tcshrc? Or /etc/login.conf?

I assume you've configured sshd to allow direct root logins. If you hadn't I think you get a different rejection message (but who knows with 9.2?)
