The session appears to be terminated, but it would only appear to the other host. It is possible (likely?) that the session was actually terminated by a firewall posing as the other host.
Many firewalls don't like encrypted sessions. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of John Kelly Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 9:58 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: z/OS SSHD Configuration Issue <snip> debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent Connection closed by x.x.x.x </snip> I haven't been following this thread too closely but this seems like the client was waiting for the server and the server terminated the session. Have you used "sshd -d" to get the server's debug options? As an aside, when debugging there's never too much information, so I'd use -vvv with the client for debugging.
