Solaris 9 OpenSSH question

Hi All,

Sorry if this gets lengthy.

I have a Solaris 8 box on my Network using OpenSSh from sunfreeware (pre Solaris 9) that acts as an SSH server and is used for secure port redirection to our clients servers. They run anywhere from Solaris 7 to 10 We set up key exchange for no password prompt as this runs in the background. This set up
has worked great for the last few years we have used this solution. Now, however, I am having authentication issues with just one, new install of Solaris 9 fully updated. From looking at the verbose output it appears as the key versions are different? Has there been an update to openssh on Solaris?

Any thoughts?
 
Are you using OpenSSH on your Solaris 9 box? Solaris 9 comes with a Sun version of SSH. Make sure you are running the right one. /usr/local/bin/sshd

I have had some problems mixing versions in the past.
 
Yes. Sorry, should have clarified.
I am running OpenSSH on my server in the office which connects to some OpenSSH and some Solaris 9, and 10 OpenSSH versions just fine.

The version on the server in question is Solaris OpenSSH
 
Sorry to keep brining it up... but I would check the ssh client version as well.

I had a problem where the Sun SSH was first the my PATH so i was connecting using Sun SSH Client to OpenSSH Server. Things like mget wouldnt work via sftp (not supported with Sun SSH.
 
Ya I thought there may be a version conlict or something along those lines. sunsolve doesn't really mention ssh updates to the Solaris OE.
