Re: strange behaviour of SSH - AIX 6.1

Hello group,

I am working on an AIX6.1 LPAR with enhanced RBAC and Trusted Aix
enabled (so, for security purposes I have installed SSH).

I am facing a very strange behaviour of the SSH daemon. When I try to
connect to the LPAR (as user, root cannot login) and I insert my
passwd the connection is immediately closed by the system.

I can login correctly ONLY if I insert a wrong passwd the first time a
I insert the correct passwd the second time.

Has anyone ever faced something similar? I'm a little puzzled....

This is what is installed:

$ lslpp -L |grep ssl
openssl.base 0.9.8.410 C F Open Secure Socket
Layer
openssl.license 0.9.8.410 C F Open Secure Socket
License
openssl.man.en_US 0.9.8.410 C F Open Secure Socket
Layer

$ lslpp -L |grep ssh
openssh.base.client 4.5.0.5302 C F Open Secure Shell
Commands
openssh.base.server 4.5.0.5302 C F Open Secure Shell
Server
openssh.license 4.5.0.5302 C F Open Secure Shell
License
openssh.man.en_US 4.5.0.5302 C F Open Secure Shell

This is what I get with the correct passwd inserted:

[root@machine ~]# ssh pl...@xxxxxxx
pl...@xxxxxxx's password:
Last unsuccessful login: Wed May 7 08:56:09 CDT 2008 on ssh from
x.x.x.x
Last login: Wed May 7 08:56:14 CDT 2008 on ssh from x.x.x.x

Thanks in advance,

check /etc/netsvc.conf last line should be something lika "hosts =
local, bind" keep in mind that spaces and comma are sensitive in sme
cases
also check if you have /etc/hosts if not - touch it
.
