Hi folks, I've Googled myself blind over this one, but all I can find are hundreds of people with the same problem and no real solutions. I suspect the answer is staring me in the face but I just don't see it.
While I can ssh from my desktop to my laptop, I cannot ssh from my laptop to my desktop. However, I can ping the desktop from the laptop no problem. Likewise I can scp files to/from the laptop as long as I am working on the desktop. When I try and ssh from the laptop to the desktop I get the error message: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer Here's some additional output: me@laptop:~$ ssh -vvv desktop OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-6, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to desktop [192.168.1.10] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa. debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug1: identity file /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: Checking blacklist file /usr/share/ssh/blacklist.RSA-2048 debug1: Checking blacklist file /etc/ssh/blacklist.RSA-2048 debug1: identity file /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /home/me/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/me/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9 pat OpenSSH_4* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-6 debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer And from the desktop side in /var/log/auth.log Jun 11 20:30:26 desktop sshd[2575]: error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key Jun 11 20:30:26 desktop sshd[2575]: error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key Any suggestions here? b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
