SDB:SuSE Linux 8.1 No Longer Allows SSH Login
Version: 8.1
Symptom
The output of telnet on the SSH port is the usual SSHD server string. However, a ssh targethost does not work at all. ssh -v finishes with:
1477: debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
Cause
The heimdal-lib included in SuSE Linux 8.1 is corrupted.
Solution
There are two possibilities:
- If you need Heimdal (Kerberos), perform an online update with YaST. The problem has been solved in the new version of heimdal-lib.
- Uninstall Heimdal if you do not need it. By doing this, the problem will not occur again.
