Ssh

[jugalator]

I've got a clean installing of Mandrake 7.2 but ssh is installed as default. I can use ssh to connect to a remote system but when I use other system to ssh to my box, I kept getting this msg:
"Secure connection to 24.112.181.125 refused; reverting to insecure method.
Using rsh. WARNING: Connection will not be encrypted."
then the connection just hang? I guess it's pretty much with configurations for ssh_config but I just don't know what to change, anyone experience in ssh pleas help me with this problem, thank you

I'm not exactly sure where that fails, but i would suggest you switch of rsh fallback immediately (as it says its not secure). I think the lines in sshd_config for that are
RhostsAuthentication no
RhostsRSAAuthentication no
and in ssh_config
FallBackToRsh no
UseRsh no

To get more information about what fails, connect with -v switch. You can add this switch 2 or 3 times as well for more information, how much more i'm not sure.

Whats the security level setting you have set on mandrake? (use "draksec" in a command window in x) I know my previous sshd problems were because i had it set to high.

Try setting it to medium and see if that makes a difference.
