I ran into an issue (from only one slackware box) with S/Key authentication, wondered if anyone else sees this. The owner of the other box sent the question to openssh and the following is the answer.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The above version of OpenSSH seems to work fine most of the time, but >when > I connect to one server in particular I get a very odd looking login > prompt: > > pts/0::mugz!xm[~] ssh -l mugz <host-name-omitted> > otp-md5 414 cr6003 ext > S/Key Password: > otp-md5 265 cr4395 ext > S/Key Password: > otp-md5 332 cr9989 ext > S/Key Password: > user@host-name-omitted password: > > I enter my password 3 times in a row at this prompt, and then i get a > "normal" login prompt and can login, whats up with this? ssh -o preferredauthentications=password This is (at least) caused by the fact that FreeBSD people have broken all setups without skey in use. It happened a few months ago with their FTP daemon, now it's happening with sshd. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
