Hi,

I just installed R5A15, and I haven't been able to SSH into my MythTv box. I get an error that the username and password is incorrect, but the SSH client I am using hasn't sent the password yet. It only tried to connect. SSH work previously before I upgraded. Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced,
John

Did you check to see if sshd is running on the Myth box?

If it's not, you'll need to start it and set things up so it starts at boot time in the future.

Also, are you sure you're using the right IP address? Remember the D in DHCP stands for "dynamic" as in "constantly changing".

Oh, is that what the "D" stands for I thought it meant Dicky as in Doesn't always work (tongue is now firmly stuck in cheek)

There are definitely days I think "dynamic" is a cuss word...

Yes, I am going to the correct ip address. And sshd is running. The first time I connected, my client asked to save the public key.

Anyway, I reinstalled the previous version and ssh works. So I will try installing R15 again and see if I get the same problem. Thanks for the ideas.

I found out just today that the reason I was having problem SSHing to my Mythbox was that I was using an older version of Putty.

What was happening is when I would try to connect to my Myth box Putty would crash. Since I downloaded the latest version from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ I am now happily SSHing away.

I am using R5A15.1

well I haven't looked at this at all, but I guess it's possible that the new version of knoppmyth has sshv1 support turned off by default, which could explain older clients having problems. Like I said that is strictly a guess, as I am too lazy to actually look at it.
