Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.99) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.2 OS: Linux After we changed out server to freebsd 4.3/OpenSSH_3.4p1 FreeBSD-20020702, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090607f, kio fish can't connect on it anymore. When it should ask for password, it just keeps loading forever.
Please provide additional details: Can you show a dump of "ssh the-offending-host" including all text up to the remote shell prompt? Also, are you using privilege separation on the server? It _should_ work with KDE-3.1's version, but I have not tested that myself.
There isn't much I can tell you, ssh direct just works, throught kio_fish it dosen't asks for password. A way I found for making it work was sending a gcc key on the server, so instead of asking me the password, the server asks me the password of the key. I don't know what "privilege separation" means, if you ellaborate a bit more, I can give it a try. Thanks.
Privilege escalation is the problem. We recently upgraded our dev box to FreeBSD 4.8 using sshd version OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030201. I changed UsePrivilegeSeparation to no and restarted sshd and can now use fish to access the server from kde 3.1.2.
It's not just privelege separation, we tested with various combinations with it on and off and saw inconclusive results. In any case, the patch on the dupe does fix it for most people. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 60083 ***
