Re: ssh fails on trying to connect?

Did it ever work for you?

What client and OS are you using to connect with?

Re: ssh fails on trying to connect?

yeah it did work a couple weeks ago.
I'm using SecureCRT to connect (which it worked on a couple weeks ago).

At this time, it connects, asks for username (I put in "root" with no quotes), and it displays that message and disconnects.

Re: ssh fails on trying to connect?

This appears to be some form of firmware corruption.

Your best bet is to reinstall the firmware from USB, following the instructions on this page in the section "updating with a usb flash drive".

That *should* clear up any problems - let us know how it goes.

Re: ssh fails on trying to connect?

That worked!!
Thanks
