How Fix Ssh Problem For Os X

Do you have System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login enabled on the destination Mac?

I even manually deleted the old SSH password entry in the mac os x keychain, and it still somehow works. 'ssh-keygen -y -f /.ssh/idrsa' asks for a password, but doing 'ssh -i /.ssh/idrsa name@host.com-p 23' works without a password. I am now thoroughly confused on what is going on here.


If 'Yes', then do you have a system where ssh DOES work? If so, then try 2 ssh diagnostic commands:


ssh -v -v -v DavidSmith@86.138.124.283

How


ssh -v -v -v username@system.where.ssh.works

Now compare the output from each ssh command, and see where the failing ssh command goes bad. The debugging messages in and around the failure should give you a clue about what is going wrong.
