SSH connection hangs out at SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT recieved

I tried to connect to a server with ssh, but it failed. I tried UseDNS no, update OpenSSH with MacPorts. But it didn't work.

Using user@ip -v I get the following output

OpenSSH_5.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011

My MAC OS version is 10.8.2.

Does anyone have a idea ?

Thanks.

Solution 1:

From the log trace and from your screenshot one can see that ssh-agent is not running. That is what is causing your ssh session to hang and not respond.

There might be multiple reasons for your ssh-agent not running, including misconfiguration or conflict between different versions of ssh binaries installed (Apple original one, macports or brew installed). The best and easier, unless you're sure what you're doing and you have a reason to do it, is to stick with Apple's original.

Try to revert to a backup installation or re-install OSX properly.

This other question on ServerFault (and my answer) may help you further.

Solution 2:

You can try to delete the known_hosts files in ~/Library/.ssh.

But first, you need to display all hidden files on your Mac.

How to display all hidden files on your Mac: open Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE;killall Finder

At the end follow this command to hidden all hidden files on you Mac:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE;killall Finder
