I have access to three machines: A: Mandrake 7.0, OpenSSH 2.1.1. B: Mandrake 5.3, SSH 1.2.27. C: Mandrake 6.1, OpenSSH 2.1.1. I can get from A to B, or B to A, without a password, but I cannot get from A or B to C without a password. sshd_config is identical on A and C. My public key is in authorized_keys on C, and all files in .ssh and .ssh itself have mode 600 and 700 respectively. C is behind a port-forwarding firewall. Would that make any difference? phma

Would that make any difference?Potentially. What does /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure say? It could match the wrong IP when looking through /etc/hosts.[allow|deny] or when trying to verify your public key. I've gotten OpenSSH to work with socks, using RSA authentication, so that is possible.> phma-- Kind regards, Berend -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Berend De Schouwer, +27-11-712-1435, UCS
I have wrestled with similar problems, and the easiest way to figure it out is to run the sshd server in debug mode (-d i think) and try it out. -rchit Pierre Abbat wrote:> > I have access to three machines: > A: Mandrake 7.0, OpenSSH 2.1.1. > B: Mandrake 5.3, SSH 1.2.27. > C: Mandrake 6.1, OpenSSH 2.1.1. > > I can get from A to B, or B to A, without a password, but I cannot get from A > or B to C without a password. sshd_config is identical on A and C.
