EdCompSciHI, new to the chat, I don 't understand the /msg as explained at the instructions for getting an account, thought maybe it was done in terminal but terminal doesn't recognize it of course, it sees it as a name of a directory. Can someone help?09:00

binarybinhey guys, is anyone else having trouble with ssh?  I try to connect to a server but it fails with "Connect reset by peer".  It never asked me to allow the RSA sig.  Isn't supposed to do that?13:43
binarybinwait a minute, why is .ssh/ empty, shouldn't there be files in there?13:46
binarybinHere is ssh -v  http://pastebin.com/ULbe3ux113:50
kristian-aalborgoh hai14:45
kristian-aalborgcan I make it so that a symlink points to several places14:45

escottbinarybin, check your firewalls it sounds like something is blocking. the .ssh will be populated with known hosts after succesful connection or you could generate your own ssh rsa key (with ssh-keygen) if you want an id_rsa but its not required from the client18:07
binarybinescott: I have a friend at work with the same problem.  I found a website talking about some problem with connecting to older Redhat servers.  I am not sure if this applies to me in this case.18:35
binarybinwe both have ubuntu 11.04...his mac os x partition seems to work fine18:36
binarybinweird huh?18:36
escottbinarybin, maybe there is some openssh protocol compatibility. maybe your client thinks the redhat server can do talk a protocol it cant. you could try downloading and compiling the redhat version of the ssh and using that, if you can confirm the issue bring the attention to your sysadmin18:38
binarybinescott: the website I saw said to downgrade ssh on ubuntu 11.04 to work, I would give you the link; but I've started looking up downgrading.  I think maybe you are right about the compat issue18:40
