I was told folks on this mailing list might be able to help me with this problem.
I'm running ruby 1.9.1p243 and net-ssh 2.0.16 and getting this error trying to connect to a vanilla openssh server on the same LAN: l...@lee-hp:~$ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'net/ssh' => true irb(main):002:0> Net::SSH.start ('192.168.1.102',:user=>'lee',:password=>'mypassword') Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: #<Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: 0x99457d0> from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh.rb:192:in `start' from (irb):2 from /usr/local/bin/irb:12:in `<main>' irb(main):003:0> /var/log/auth.log on the target ssh server logs the following error on each attempt: Invalid user { from 192.168.1.101 Seems like it's not sending the user name correctly, maybe? I can ssh to this server from a bash shell fine, from any user. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
