Re: Problem connecting to SSH, OpenVMS7.3-2, HP TCP/IP v5.4 patched

Ah ha!!

My logs show...

$ Set NoOn
$ VERIFY = F$VERIFY(F$TRNLNM("SYLOGIN_VERIFY"))

So, it looks like the install may have not *really* worked - it should
install the image as part of the install process.

So, trash and rebuild VMS?? I have already disabled and re-enabled, it
obviously didn't help....sigh

So, as you can see, I am trying to make an ssh connection with the
client on the same node as the server. So it appears.

I have also tried using various
windows-based ssh clients and get the same result. I thought that if
it can't work locally, its not going to work remotely either! Sounds reasonable to me.

When I do the same thing, we look similar for a while, and then
diverge:

[... more successful stuff ...]

Knowing little, I'd guess that the server dies in some way to cause
that "DISCONNECT received: Connection closed by remote host." message.

You might look for interesting stuff in the log file(s):
SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH]TCPIP$SSH_RUN.LOG
One of my successful run log files looks like this:

The non-default "AllowedAuthentications" accounts for the early
differences between our messages. I made a similar change to the
SSH2_CONFIG file, but I don't know if that one matters:

ALP $ diff /merg = 0 SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH2]SSH2_CONFIG.TEMPLATE
