Dear All I'm having some problems with SSH that don't really make too much sense to me. Previously I had a Debian dialup box that dialed when I did 'isdnctrl dial ippp0' from the SuSE 6.4 box with SSH. There was no problem with that at all. Just recently I thought it was time to upgrade the internet facing box and changed to SuSE 7.0. My Compaq notebook got the same software at the same time. Very nice software with a great deal of choice. However, I now find that if I try to connect to the new 7.0 box with the old 6.4 box then nothing happens. I'm using Open SSH on all of them and on the 6.4 box it's version 1.2.2. On the new box and the notebook it's version 2.1.1p1. I can get all of the machines to see each other on the network which is based around a small hub. But SSH just refuses to do anything. The login command I use normally is...... 'ssh root@nameofthebox' I'm sure that I've missed something here but I can't think what. As I say the 6.4 box connected straight up to my old Debian box without a problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction here ? Read 'man ssh' and the SuSE database. Still can't figure it out. Also done some RTFM with several books. Thanks -- Richard
