Title: Ssh Client On Zaurus
Post by: xjqian on February 04, 2006, 05:19:57 am

Supposed to be a stupid and common question. But nothing comes close from the Howto and forum search results.

installed openssh-client 3.6.1p1 and openssh-addon 3.6.1p1. Run ssh-user-keygen.sh

ssh [hostname]  just returned me to the prompt. Even ssh -V didn't tell me anything. Any ideas?

telnet works fine, as well as ssh in the X/Qt Debian chroot.

Try

ssh -vvv

If you are not user name "zaurus" on the remote machine, you need to specify the correct user with

ssh -l username host

Both returns nothing. not even an error message.

It doesn't look like ssh is running at all.  Maybe it didn't get installed properly?

Code: [Select]

ipkg status openssh-clientshould return:

Code: [Select]

Package: openssh-client
Status: install ok installed
Root: /
Version: 3.6.1p1
If thepackage is installed properly,

Code: [Select]

ssh -Vshould return

Code: [Select]

OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702fssh without arguments should output about two pages worth of help.

ipkg status openssh-client shows it correctly installed (exactly as posted), however ssh -V is still silent.

Nevertheless, an uninstall/reinstall fixed this weirdness. No idea what's the cause though. Thanks, aki
