Install n newer putty or set the right options. A net serach will bring up
these needed new options.

Did you enable sshd on the linux and is it running? did you put the
appropriate entry into /etc/hosts.allow?

I know someone else who recently had the same problem; we solved it by
telling Putty to use SSH V2 by default (V1 is outdated and, IIRC, broken
in the cryptographic sense). It's under the Connection/SSH options.

Also make sure that sshd is running (ps aux | grep sshd) and that
hosts.allow/hosts.deny/firewall settings are appropriate.

Check your sshd_conf file.

If you don't know where it is type 'find / -name sshd_config'
That should show you where the file is.

IIRC in Suse, I had to enable ssh logins by putting yes on
the UseLogin line in the sshd_config file.

Don't forget to restart ssh for the change to take effect.

Yikes! That's a hard/long way to do it, isn't it? I guess I have a lot
of stuff in my file system. I would do:

rpm -qal | grep sshd_config

That lists all of the installed files from all packages (you could just
look at openssh package? how would you know?) and filters out those that
contain sshd_config. Lookit, there's even a man page!

$ rpm -qal | grep sshd_config
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
/usr/share/man/man5/sshd_config.5.gz

Hmm, I didn't have to, in SuSE 8.2, but then I use RSA Authentication
(default on SuSE 8.2 install). I can come in from Solaris, w/o login
prompt as long as my home directory (with private .ssh directory) is
mounted on both sides. I think you need that for PVM, MPI, Beowulf?

> Don't forget to restart ssh for the change to take effect.

Yeah, easiest by:

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

Hmm, I see there is a reload of force-reload in that startup script? I've
never used that. I've used a more general restart for services (not all).

Sorry... I've just started to work with Linux, and I guess my
methods are not as refined as most... I guess I should have
restricted the search to /etc to speed up the process. Thanks for
the comment or I wouldn't have thought twice about it.

No need to apologize. We're all coming from varied backgrounds here. I've
learned some stuff from others. Just trying to return some suggestions.
