Don't use RPM to install OpenSSH! I have tried it before and as the same result as you... FAILED! (But I don't know why...)

I suggest you to download the source to your server and compile it. Now, I can use "ssh" command in the server but I still can't use my Win SSH program to connect to my server...

So after you instll successfully, teach me how to connect, hehe http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/tongue.gif

hmm.. if you get a second, run on over to http://www.fandelem.com/nhf-9.html - that whole document isn't done, but the section on installing OpenSSH(d) is.. try it and tell me where you get stuck on :}

Actually after I compile the OpenSSH source, I visit your page and continue to config the file and test it as

netstat -vat | grep ssh

and I get:

tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN

However, I use ZOC and it only display:

[SSH] CONNECT My.com/1.1.1.1

but wait for a long time still don't display other message...

When I use PuTTY, it said

Protocol Initialization Error

So please help... thanks...

Go check /var/log/messages and see what it is saying. If you used some of the features I had in red, (hopefully the logging one) then you will get maximum logging information which is good for working out the problems. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif Cut and paste the log information here and we can help you further.

I have checked the sshd_config and it is same as yours... but the /var/log/messages haven't recorded any SSH error messages... so strange... (but it can record my telnet session)

My path to sshd_config is /usr/local/etc/sshd_config

and in the config, it has no option for me to assign the log message path for any sshd error...

Do I think I need to re-install the OpenSSH? If yes, how do I delete the current OpenSSH files? (I compile it and so it's not RPM)

Thanks your help.

Find:

Syslog Facility AUTH
LogLevel DEBUG

if those aren't in your config file, put them in there..

then try to connect. it *will* generate something in your /var/log/messages - and cut and paste it here - it's virtually impossible for me to offer you suggestions without knowing what the logs are saying..

Actually, I have checked and has these line, the whole file is as follows:

# This is ssh server systemwide configuration file.

Port 22
#Protocol 2,1
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key

#

# Uncomment if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for RhostsRSAAuthentication

PrintMotd yes
KeepAlive yes

# Logging

#obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging

RhostsAuthentication no
#
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts
RhostsRSAAuthentication no
#
RSAAuthentication yes

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
# Uncomment to disable s/key passwords
#SkeyAuthentication no

# To change Kerberos options
#KerberosAuthentication no
#KerberosOrLocalPasswd yes
#AFSTokenPassing no
#KerberosTicketCleanup no

# Kerberos TGT Passing does only work with the AFS kaserver
#KerberosTgtPassing yes

CheckMail no
#UseLogin no

#Subsystem sftp /usr/local/sbin/sftpd


However, after I connect to my server and have no response, I close the ZOC and go to /var/log/messages but no message add, so it's so strange...

Another problem is when I type

ssh my.com in my server, now it said:

error in loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0: cannot open shared file: No such file or directory

and when I check /etc/lib, there is a libcrypto.so alias to libcrypto.so.0.9.5a but there is no libcrypto.so.0.9.5a and libcrypto.so.0 file, am I anything wrong here?

Thanks very much,

kevin

hmm, no clue then.

my only suggestion is to follow what I suggested at http://www.fandelem.com/nhf-9.html using RPMs - if you are totally fed up and can't get anything to work, give it a go around - I've had people test it and said it works.. otherwise, keep poking around.. more poking around, more learning is my saying :}

I think you need OpenSSL installed before you install OpenSSH.

I dunno about RPMs, but I'm positive that's what I had to do when I compiled from the sources on Slack (before the tarballs came out).

[Fandelem]

trust me, he wouldn't have gotten that far (with an actual build of OPENSSH, as he did) - it would have stopped him and told him to get OpenSSL when he was running ./configure

somehow he messed something up in building the source though, probably - don't know what, seeing how he said there are no logs.. hard to start finding out what the problem is..
