Tried using ssh to execute commands on the remote system. Attached is the log from using the -v option. I have another setup of two machines (identical setup - AIX client to Solaris sshd server) between which this setup works with no problems. File .ssh/authorized_keys on the remote system has entry, from="*.mydomain.com",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty 1024 35 1316674.... Can anyone tell me what is happening? remote maui:/home/abhati>ssh -v charon -l remoteUserId SSH Version 1.2.26 [powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0], protocol version 1.5. Standard version.
