<DIV>RH 8.0, kernel 2.4.18-14, OpenSsh 3.6.2 complied from binary</DIV>
<DIV>Playing around with OpenSsh, trying to connect to Sonic (the
shell.sonic.net server). I can connect normally with the command $ ssh -l
<username> shell.sonic.net and it works, but when I try to modify the
/etc/ssh/ssh_config (host config file for ssh) the file does not seem to take
effect. For instance, I tried a new Host declaration to shell.sonic.net,
with the User (username) so that I do not have to type the user name in every
time, but it did not work. Even putting this User under the general Host *
did not work; after typing the command $ ssh shell.sonic.net
it prompted me for root@shell.sonic.net's password rather than my user name
password. I know sonic doesn't accept SSHv2 connections (why not...
another topic) but has anyone messed around with the /etc/ssh_config file to any
degree of success?</DIV>
