[c-nsp] SSH problems on cisco generally

[Mike]

Hi,

     In my environment I use ssh and on my workstation I usually have 
the ssh-agent running storing my keys for me so that I can more easilly 
do passwordless logins.

     On all of my cisco boxes however, I can't login unless I disable 
the ssh-agent as it seems to confuse the box. For example, with the 
agent running and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable which tells SSH 
how to talk to my agent, I get this:

ssh -l mylogin some3560g.my.network.com
Connection closed by x.x.x.x.

Disabling the agent however, gets me this:


SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 ssh -l mylogin some3560g.my.network.com
some3560g>



Setting "SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0" just means the agent won't be found and thus 
ssh won't try rsa.

My unix boxes all have no issues with this. Im suspecting it's a config 
issue, perhaps something with the keys or somesuch, I just don't 
understand.

Anyone have any ideas?
