OpenSSH and SSH

[Harvey]

I had installed SSH before, working fine, but it doesn't allow ssh1 logins out of the box blah blah. I heard openssh was cool, so I installed that as well, will I need to uninstall ssh? I mean, they are listening on the same port so how does it know which is which?

Currently openssh seems not to be working as I cannot ssh into my box. only ssh2 which ssh is handling.

wow. that's a lot of acronyms.

Well, it's hard to tell without more info.

Since Openssh is a replacement/equivalent to ssh, it should have overwritten all of ssh's files, replaceing them with it's own. Of course, uninstalling ssh (esp from rpm) and Openssh would be a good idea. That way you can install Openssh to a "clean" system. I'm not sure how clean it would be though.

The problem is likely in a script. Run sshd manually with the -d switch. It will run in debug and you'll get more info.

My problem was with PAM not being set up. If you're on RH you likely have a similar problem.

Good luck
