Hello everyone. Apologies if this has come up before ... I have some machines with SSH2.3 and some with OpenSSH2.3, and am finding that while they are largely compatible, there are problems in connecting the two. Scp, for example, doesn not seem to be working properly in copying from an SSH2.3 machine (SuSE 6.4 in this case) to an OpenSSH 2.3 machine (OpenBSD 2.7); but if the same copy is performed in the same direction but issuing the command from the OpenSSH machine, the copy works fine. But an SSH login works both ways. Another SSH2.3 machine will not connect to the OpenSSH machine at all, however the two machines connect fine if the call is made from the OpenSSH machine as client.
From the various errors, it seems that they are trying to fall back to SSH1 compatibility for reasons I can't work out, given that they are supposed to talk together at SSH2 level.
Anyone seen anything similar / have a clue what to do to put things right? Eliminating one or the other and settling on one is not an option, unfortunately Best to all Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Manchester M3 1SB UK Tel: +44 161 834 7961 Fax: +44 161 839 5797

Did you try to start sshd in debug mode? Look at the messages why it does not connect.

What authentication do you use? Passwords or keys?

THis is combination which works for me: SSH2.1 on SuSE 6.3 as server. Client is OpenSSH 2.3 on SusE 6.4. OpenSSH 2.3 on SuSE 7.0 as server. Clients are OpenSSH 2.3 on SuSE 7.0 and commercial SSH 2.3 on WinNT -Kastus
Best to all
