Hi,

I've been using MacSSH 2.1fc3 with considerable satisfaction to administer various Linux boxes for a couple of years from a Powerbook running Mac OS 9.0.4.

I recently got a new server and installed SuSE Linux 9.1 which runs openssh 3.8p1-33 out of the box.

I can connect to the new box with ease from Linux terminals and from MacOS 10.3.2's Terminal program, but MacSSH fails.

When I attempted to connect with MacSSH to the new machine I got the unrecognised key "man-in-the-middle" warning, then the window just closes within a second.

The log reads:

lsh: Protocol error: No more auth methods available
lsh: Need real authentication.

I tried switching back to DES encrytion from MD5 on the new box to no avail. I also tried messing with the compression settings in MacSSH. No luck there either.

Any clues?

Could you post the content of the log after setting the verbose/trace/debug flags in your Favorites SSH settings ?

Sure:

It seems that the "password" authentication method has disappeared from the last version installed by SuSe.
Since the "keyboard-interactive" method is not supported by MacSSH, I'm afraid you'll have to use public-key method.

Following the instructions at http://pro.wanadoo.fr/chombier/FAQ.html#PUBK
and
http://www.ists.dartmouth.edu/IRIA/knowledge_base/keyxchange.htm
?

Right.

Thanks Jean-Pierre, that worked a treat. The dartmouth page is excellent. Perhaps it would be a good idea to incorporate it in the MacSSH official docs (with permission naturally).

I had this problem too. If your security needs allow it (which they probably do if you were using MacSSH with previous versions of SuSE), then you can configure sshd under SuSE 9.1 to allow Authentication by Password. I used webmin to easily do this, but you can manually edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to have a line "PasswordAuthentication yes". Restart sshd and try again. Works like a charm :)
