Hi !
(sers - könnten ja fast auf deutsch schreiben, aber das wäre ja fies :-))
Thx - you just found the solution..
I didn't mention that till now 'cause the shell was set te default in both connections and it worked @the older one..

Wish a nice evening further on..

regards..
markus

Please make sure, that you have BASH set as default shell. It is does not help, please write me about any differences you know between two host of yours.

Hello !
Today I first tried to use the Winscp2.1 (verson 1 gives a putty out of memory error) - and tried to connect to my 2 Linux Servers - both using openssh3.5p1, one compiled with openssl9.6g (were it works wonderful) and the other with openssl9.6h (doesn't work)

The thing I'm really wondering about is, that I can connect to both using putty0.53b, pagent and psftp (the putty scp command line client) without having any problems..
Further I tried exchanging the sshd_config file - but I didn't change anything...

I 'll attach the logfile, maybe any of you can tell me what went wrong, or maybe anyone can tell me what to do, 'cause I don't find anything wrong as the connection seems to be enabled..

thx, markus
