After I update my ssh version to openssh, I can't connect to the ssh daemon. ( Only local connections work. ) The host is a SuSE/Linux 2.2 box. This is the connection output from ssh: SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5. Compiled with SSL. debug: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 0 anon 1 debug: Connecting to myhost.net [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] port 22. debug: Connection established. ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host debug: Calling cleanup 0x8057380(0x0) So, I take a look at the openssh source and find the error string in sshconnect.c. It seems that the host doesn't send the ident string to the daemon. Does anybody the the reason of this and how to fix it?
