Hello,
I am using MacOSX client
Client Version: OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
connecting to either debian or Ubuntu OpenSSH server...
Server Version:
OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8, OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006
Everything works fine if connecting from MacOSX to internet
hosts, but any hosts (eg Debian Etch server) on my local LAN
which uses private IP space (192.168.1.x) fails with client
error:
debug1: An invalid name was supplied
Cannot determine realm for numeric host address
(full debug below)
On the server end, it just says timeout before authentiction.
I have turned off UseDNS on the server, but it makes no difference.
It seems to be a bug in the OpenSSH client on MacOSX that has
been introduced recently. It only affects MacOSX client, and
only when connecting to private IP space addresses.
Has anyone seen this ebfore, and found a solution?
Do I need to recompile my own version of OpenSSH on MacOSX?
