On Solaris 10 I have:

Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f

and on Solaris 8 I have:

OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005

Can this be the source of problem?

Yo have old versions on Solaris 8... Perhaps updating, at least, to the same version might be enough....

Thanks a lot.

It might take some time to upgrade but I will definitely let you know the result.Smilie

unilover:

In case an upgrade, or even a rebuild, isn't feasible..you might try to force the older protocol through the -1 option.

In one of your older posts the verbosity was showing as trying to go in through SSH2. This may be due to the running default of the newer host's config; in fact, what happens when you try to automate going from the Solaris 8 box to the Solaris 10? Possibly forcing a SSH1 protocol will help in any case.

Meanwhile, you can also force synchronization of the various config settings between the hosts via -o settings. ssh --help will outline your options.
