The choices are 1 only, 1, 2, or 2 only. The default is 1, not 1 only. If PuTTY does not try 2 after 1 is rejected it is a bug. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 10:42 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: vi alternative? > I have cured this by setting the preferred protocol version to 2 in the > connection->SSH selection in PuTTY.

More likely: the default SSHD configuration was changed to permit v2 connections only following a compromise of the v1 protocol. This happened a while back. PuTTY gets the reject from the v1 attempt, and doesn't retry with v2. The Unix ssh clients are configured to try v2 if v1 fails. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
