SSH test failing: Protocol error: can not agree hostkey

[datwood]

I have many SSH tests running against Solaris servers, but I'm trying to get one working against a HP-UX server. The HP-UX server supports 3des.

But it is failing with above error.

You were able to help me with similiar error before, hope you can help here as well.

Here is output from kssshcmd commands using debug options:

Code: Select all

kssshcmd -host:hibiscus -user:xx -password:xx -cmd:"ls" -hmacdebug

Protocol error. Can not agree hostkey

Code: Select all

kssshcmd -host:hibiscus -user:xx -password:xx -cmd:"ls" -debug

Looks like server does not support ssh-dss format for host key (public key). This format is required by SSH protocol.
Another host key format (ssh-rsa) is optional, its not supported by HostMonitor. Probably your server uses this fomat only? ssh-dss should be enabled as well...
