Please forgive me if I have written to the wrong list. If I have, please
redirect me.
I am installing ssh2 on two linux systems (kernal 2.2.16, SuSE 7.0
distribution) in order to communicate securely with a Solaris 2.7
system, which already has ssh2 installed (SSH-1.99-2.0.13,
non-commercial).
I have installed and compiled ssh2 on the two linux systems (as opposed
to merely downloading a binary) and have successfully used ssh2 from
both of those to communicate with the Solaris system. However, I am
unsuccessful in using scp2. When I try to use it myself or when
ssh-pubkeymgr tries to use it to communicate with the Solaris system,
the following error message is received (after logging in and providing
the user password for the account):
scp2: warning: ssh_packet_wrapper_input: invalid packet received: len
1232347245
I have read all the online documentation I can find and still cannot
find out what the problem is here.
The use of the verbose switch on scp2 tells me several things, none of
which I understand. The comments indicate that ssh_client_wrap,
ssh_common_wrap, and ssh_conn_wrap take place, but that Ssh2Transport
finds incompatibility errors in the remote version. These include:
Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:746[number varies]/ssh_tr_input_version [for
all]:
Remote version has service accept message draft incompatibility bug.
Remote version has publickey service name draft incompatibility bug.
Remote version has X11 channel open draft incompatibility bug.
Remote version uses deprecated disconnect codes.
Remote version uses 16 byte key with SHA-1.
Does this mean that I should work on upgrading the SSH2 installation on
the remote site (Solaris)?
I have used ssh-pubkeymgr to generate keys on my linux machines, though
I cannot upload their public keys to the Solaris system. (I could do it
insecurely using ftp, but I'm not certain where to place them in the
accounts.) I do use TCP-wrappers, but all three machines are listed in
my hosts.allow by IP for access to ALL.
Can someone here point me in the right direction?
regards and thanks in advance,
