Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 12:11:01 +0200 From: Bernt Christandl Sender: owner-ssh@clinet.fi Precedence: bulk Hello Gurus, because of licenses and incompatibilities with ssh1 and ssh2 we are on the way to use openssh... That is working fine with the world and between our unix-machines. Then when i try to connect from a PC (NT/ssh-2.4.0-pl2) to a sun i see on the sun-console this error: May 31 11:09:46 SUN sshd[11674]: fatal: no hostkey alg What happens is, that the pc-ssh did not ask for a password any more for the remote uid and thus states about an incorrect password and a failed authentication. I have the idea that somewhere on the pc are stored what is under unix /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and that these are outdated. I can't find such nown hosts... So, where can i find a more detailed explanation of the above error message? With regards, Bernt Christandl (beb@mpa-garching.mpg.de)
