Thanks, --Brian McCann ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For what it's worth, we happen to have some licensed copies of the commercial SSH client (from SSH Communications Inc.) for our Windows boxes. I just tried to reproduce this problem. To ssh into *nix workstations, I've always just used password authentication. On the commercial windows client, after you specify the hostname and username, you pick from a drop-down list Authentication Method: -Password -Public Key -SecureID -PAM -Keyboard Interactive I have ALWAYS just used password to get into my Linux and FreeBSD workstations running sshd. But password no longer works. I started to get nervous, but relaxed when I found out that if I selected Keyboard Interactive, I could get in. I don't understand what exacactly keyboard interactive is and how it differs from password, but it seems to work. I haven't used PuTTY in a few years, and I don't know if this is something that can be tweaked or not.

Recent versions certainly can do keyboard-interactive. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Same problem occurred here with other SSH programs for Windows that connect to FreeBSD PC. When upgrading from 4.10 to 5.3, suddenly the Windows PCs could not connect anymore , with a similar error as you get. Upgrading was the solution. I never tried to downgrade the newer SSH version on FreeBSD to handle old versions; I considered the reverse a better way :). Curiously: a nother PC running 4.10 had no problems to connect to 5.3. Only Windows' SSH programs had such problems.

RE: SSH 5.3 Problems
That's just it...I didn't see any errors. Originally it was throwing errors that it couldn't lookup the name of the workstation, but once that got fixed I wasn't getting anything. I've got to try putting sshd into verbose later this afternoon... --Brian On Tue, 04 Jan 2005 15:14:33 +0100, David Landgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Brian McCann wrote: Hi all.

Re: SSH 5.3 Problems
Tried that I set PuTTY to use only V2 and it died as well. I guess it's possible that older versions of PuTTY has an SSH v2 bug, but it happened from FreeBSD trying that too. :-/ Thanks though, --Brian On Tue, 4 Jan 2005 10:17:34 -0800, Aaron Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 4 Jan 2005 10:16:37 -0500, Brian McCann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That's just it...I didn't see any errors.

Thus, you may want to try changing the following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: from: #Protocol 2 to: Protocol 2,1 This will enable ssh1 support Aaron ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
