Hello, all Interesting problem here. I have ssh 1.2.26 on a client and a server here. This is a testbed, with the intention being to use ppp over a commercial copy to hook up a bunch of telecommuters once I have proven that it works. For some reason, I am not seeing any connection attempts. I did one test on my local net, wherin I have a win box chatting happily to my firewall running sshd, using a passphrase free rsa file. This works fine with several different clients. When I try to connect to the remote ssh daemon, it fails. To be precise, on the originating host, I see [root@weaseldns ssh-1.2.26]# ssh1 -v -i /home/scott/.ssh/id_nopass thebes SSH Version 1.2.26 [i686-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5. Standard version. Does not use RSAREF. weaseldns.iceweasel.com: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config weaseldns.iceweasel.com: ssh_connect: getuid 0 geteuid 0 anon 0 weaseldns.iceweasel.com: Connecting to thebes [199.106.132.33] port 22. weaseldns.iceweasel.com: Allocated local port 1023. I do not see "Connection established" like I would expect. On the destination, despite having facist logging on, I see virtually no messages. May 27 02:25:11 thebes sshd[5358]: log: Received SIGHUP; restarting. May 27 02:25:11 thebes sshd[5358]: debug: sshd version 1.2.26 [i686-unknown-linux] May 27 02:25:11 thebes sshd[5392]: debug: Initializing random number generator; seed file /etc/ssh/ssh_random_seed May 27 02:25:11 thebes sshd[5392]: log: Server listening on port 22. May 27 02:25:11 thebes sshd[5392]: log: Generating 768 bit RSA key. May 27 02:25:12 thebes sshd[5392]: log: RSA key generation complete. Note no logging of the attempt. The version is direct from the rpm files at replay, which is also why I am using .26 rather than .27. I still have not gotten version 2 to work compiling from the source. While that is likely my fault, I would rather try to track down one failure at a time. Nothing is shown in /var/log/secure, I have port 22 open in the firewalls between us, and telnets work. I have tried both the linux ssh client as above, and tera term. Is there an easy way to watch the data coming in to a certain port, so I can at least get some idea where to look? I have checked hosts.allow and /etc/ssh_config, but have had no luck. Scott
