SuSE Linux 8.1 No Longer Allows SSH Login
Support knowledgebase (ssh_heimdal)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.1
Symptom
The output of telnet on the SSH port is the usual SSHD server string. However,
a ssh targethost does not work at all. ssh -v finishes with:
1477: debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
Cause
The heimdal-lib included in SuSE Linux 8.1 is corrupted.
Solution
There are two possibilities:
- If you need Heimdal (Kerberos), perform an online update with YaST.
The problem has been solved in the new version of heimdal-lib.
- Uninstall Heimdal if you do not need it. By doing this, the problem will
not occur again.
We would like to thank Sven Michels for this information.
