linux_jester Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I've successfully installed open SSH server on a MDK 10.1. It starts fine and I have no problems connecting to it from another client on my local home network. When I try connecting from work my session appears to hang just after I've entered my password with my connection eventually timing out. Looking at the system log I find the following entries: Apr 12 22:29:39 checker sshd[27542]: Accepted password for kevin from ::ffff:111.111.111.111 port 35356 ssh2 Apr 12 22:29:39 checker sshd[27542]: Address 111.111.111.111 maps to 111.co.uk, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT! *IP address and URL changed. From this I understand that the reverse and corresponding forward lookups that SSH performs are not matching so it's seen as a breach attempt. I've checked the DSN and performed independent reverse and forward lookups using tools on the web and the log entries are correct. Is there any way that I can work around this so I can connect to my home machine from work? Many thanks.

emilioestevezz Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Do you have port 22 in your firewall opened?, Sounds like firewall issue. You have to define a rule that let comunications to that port from net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 It's not a firewall issue or he'd never be able to talk to the server at all. OP - sorry, I'm not at a Linux machine right now (I'm at my other job) so I can't be more specific, but check /etc/ssh/sshd.conf and see if there's an option to disable this check.
