TS-linux ssh drops connection as soon as login is successful
 

Hello all-
I am trying to ssh into an embedded computer running ts-linux (debian based), if you guys are familiar. i got ssh installed and ran the keymakers. whenever i try to log in, it doesn't want to stay connected - it logs in and then exits immediately.

i ran ssh in -v and here's the output. looks like it connects and then exits out. any ideas?

as a note: for the passphrase in the keygen i didn't input anything. when i logged in, i used the normal user password. Is that the correct way to go about it? It looks like it accepts the connection before it gets cranky and drops it.

Thanks for the help!

I double posted in linux-software, a cardinal sin, i know, but i need an answer quick. i'll delete one as soon as one gets going.

from the other thread
- i looked for ~/.ssh/known_hosts, it doesn't exist on the remote computer and i emptied it on the computer i'm ssh-ing from - same error after accepting key.
