I have a problem connecting to a fileserver with Mandrake 9.1.
The strange thing is that i'm able to connect to it only with my laptop, running Mandake 9.1, and i'm not able with all the others computers of the local network.

I'm particularly interested to connect from a server machine running Mandrake 8.1 with ssh package updated with the same version of the fileserver (OpenSSH_3.5p1).

What i get executing ssh -v fileserver_address is the following

[user@mail tmp]# ssh -vvv 192.168.0.2

At this point the connection hang and doing netstat i get

tcp 0 1 host2:ssh host:2061 SYN_RECV

on the fileserver and

tcp 0 1 host:2061 host2:ssh FIN_WAIT1

in the other host.


Following there is ssh_config of the client host

ssh_config:

As you can notice above, the connection is estabilished but then it hangs when accessing private key. So I thinked it was a key problem so i tried to delete them (private and public) but it didn't work yet. I tried to recreate the keys and put new public key on the fileserver, but it didn't work.

I also uninstalled the openssh package on fileserver and reinstalled it, so now i'm using default configuration for ssd. Nothing to do. it doesn't work.

Have you any idea? I need to access the fileserver from remote station, but i don't always have my laptop with me.

Thank you,
