SSH by Apple :(
Authored by: pruski on Apr 14, '01 03:45:59PM

Before the MacOS X update to 10.0.1 I installed OpenSSH 2.5.2... And everything seemed to work just fine, I could login onto servers using the SSH protocol and I could login onto my own machine from a remote host. But... This fun ended today after installing MacOS X update...

I can login onto remote servers but I cannot login on my own machine. I think that the problem lies in the fact that there are a lot of servers using SSH version 1.3... I'm afraid that Apple's solution uses version 2.0...

But know my question: does somebody know a nice work around for this problem? Can I uninstall Apple's SSH solution and return to OpenSSH version 2.5.2???

Sure you can - just run the install script for openssh again (either the osxinstall-sh that comes with one distribution or the "make install") and you're set, ready to go

My FreeBSD guru SO says to connect to a SSH server which is version 2, you must use the "-2" flag/argument/option, as such:


ssh -2 hostname-here

BTW, my update to 10.0.1 broke many things, especially my db access and most services I had to compile myself to install. I'm about to reinstall (writing this from my old 8500. I lost network access on my OS X box when I updated). I had some problems with my original attempt to install on a UFS partition which the OS X disc created. In the "long" run stuff was running smooth as silk, until the upgrade. I thought it might have been my OpenSSH 2.5.2 install, since I intensionally didn't install anything unofficial.


Good luck!
Newt
