We got the commercial version of ssh2 2.3.0 under the university
program.
We are experiencing some problems in using the ssh2 client on
Linux Mandrake 7.1:
1) It seems that the configuration file in /etc/ssh2/ssh2_config is not
used.
In particular we added the folowing configuration line for the socks
sever:
SocksServer
socks://fiewall:1080/10.0.0.0/8
but when connecting to a server outside the firewall the ssh2
command
hangs. This is the output of ssh2 -v
debug: hostname is 'nautilus'.
debug: Unable to open /home/xxxxx/.ssh2/ssh2_config
debug: connecting to nautilus...
debug: entering event loop
Instead if you use the environment variable SSH_SOCKS_SERVER
the command works correctly.
2) When connecting to a machine which runs the openssh 2.1.3 server we
get
the following error:
warning: Authentication failed.
Disconnected; MAC error (Message authentication check fails.).
The server is outside the firewall (the connection is through the
socks server).
The ssh2 client on windows works fine in the same situation.
If anyone has a solution we would appreciate his/her help!
