Thanks, Al. I'll update this and give it another go...

I am trying to set up a small network of three machines to intercommunicate via ssh.* Machines B and C are running Squeeze with Trinity DE, machine A is running Lenny with KDE3.* (The other Squeeze machine turned up its toes and died this morning. :-(* So I had to bring poor old Lenny back on stream.)


I have been using Google to good effect for almost the whole process, about which I am a total ignoramus, but I have hit an impasse from which much Googling cannot extricate me.

I have machines A, B, C.* All three can ping each other and the router.


Machine A can ssh into both the other machines.* Machine C can ssh into both the other machines.* Machine B can ssh into Machine C, but not into Machine A.

I am now reluctant to do anything too drastic in case I kibosh even what I have got.


Anyone got any suggestions what I could try?* Could I supply more helpful data?* I have done a ssh -v and the result is below.

Thanks,
Lisi

What does your sshd config file look like on A? Are you using RSA
certs for authentication?

And additionally, what's on the server's log for the aborted log in?

I couldn't find one. *Not, I fear, the same thing as "there isn't one". :-( *Googling suggested that it would be called auth something, and I found files called auth something, but they were empty.

Thanks anyway,Lisi

You were looking at the right place. /var/log/auth might contain
valuable information. You can try increasing the ssh daemon's verbosity
by setting LogLevel to DEBUG in sshd.conf.
