two users on same machine, one can ssh to another machine, the other can't



All,

I have two users on a machine. There are three other machines that
these users should be able to ssh to. The "from" machine is setup:

ncsu# ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7h 11 Oct 2005

The "to" machine that is problematic is setup:

$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004

User A can ssh to all three machines without issue; the other user - B
- can ssh to only two of the machines. (I can't tell you what versions
are on the other two machines as I do not have the password to get in,
but the ssh call from the "from" machine gets the expected "Password"
prompts.)

When I set the debug level to DEBUG3 on the "from" machine and using
user A, I get lots of debug output. When using user B, I get:

$ ssh -l donkey a.b.c.d

Authorization failed executing: /usr/bin/ssh -l donkey a.b.c.d

I took a look at the code - it seems that user B's attempt to get to
a.b.c.d bails before attempting to connect. Any assistance would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg.
