    A little more information about this problem. Connections to the server do
    not fail if I use the IP address in the ssh command. It only fails when I
    use the hostname. The client's /etc/hosts file has a correct entry for the
    ssh server and nsswitch is set to files then dns.

    Hi Tim.

    We are presently at 3.2.2 (educational), but we have been
    using ssh (from ssh.com) since around 2.4 and it works. We
    have about 20 SGI machines - from Challenge L to Origin 2000
    as far as hardware goes and software mostly at 6.5.16.

    We compile it with cc from SGI rather than gcc and use
    'internal://sftp-server' for subsystem-sftp (3.x before 3.2
    gave us sftp problems).

    The kind of warning you have usually is seen when the target
    machine is up but there is nothing listening at the ssh
    port, so you might want to make sure the daemon is running.

    If everything fails, post more information (machine, version
    of os, etc.).

    Good luck.

    Patrick McNeil
