Compiling SSH from ssh.org on Pro 9.3
I'm new to this list, so forgive me if this has been discussed before... My shop uses SSH 3.2.9.1 from SSH.org as the dominant ssh client/server, and when I compile it on SuSE Pro 9.3 with gcc (v. 3.3.5 20050117, the default), there are no errors, but when I try to ssh to another host (running ssh 3.2.9.1 server), I get this when trying to use hostbased authentication: warning: Received error 1, message: "Unable to load host keys.". Using an ssh 3.1.2 client compiled on RedHat works without error, and I get the same results whether I use the old key (this was previously running RedHat) or a newly generated one. All permissions are ok -- all keys and directories have the same ownerships and permissions as all our other installations. And I get the error when logging into both Linux and Solaris boxes. Any idea what could cause this error? And why would a compile with the exact same options I've used everywhere else give errors here and nowhere else? ------------ Julie Napp Unix Admin julie.napp@jhuapl.edu

Why are you not using the ssh packages that come with SuSE 9.3? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
