Your email is a bit confusing; you are talking about an SSH connection, but the example you posted is for a JNLP connected slave. Also, slaves don't make SSH connections to the Jenkins master, the connections are made the other direction.
If you are starting the slave via JNLP, I have no idea why SSH would even be involved. ----- Original Message ----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com At: Jul 16 2013 18:04:13 We're using Jenkins 1.522, both the master and the slave are linux systems. When, I try launch the salve node from the command line I get an error "The server rejected the connection: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3" I can successfully ssh to the master server from the slave system. I verified we do not have firewall issue to cause this problem, so is this a specific port issue? *Run from slave command line: java -jar slave.jar -jnlpUrl http://node20v:8080/computer/build1/slave-agent.jnlp -secret c55ae2703cc4b8a4364738a78dba820db2fcb11580314b1917e4fcbcb4b8458f *................. *................. *INFO: Handshaking Jul 16, 2013 2:41:57 PM hudson.remoting.jnlp.Main$CuiListener error SEVERE: The server rejected the connection: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3 java.lang.Exception: The server rejected the connection: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3 at hudson.remoting.Engine.onConnectionRejected(Engine.java:274) at hudson.remoting.Engine.run(Engine.java:249) * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
