sftp/scp hangs at ssh authentication in RHEL 5
Issue
- Cannot sftp to a RHEL5 server from a non Red Hat server. For example:
sshd[27152]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=[host2.example.com](http://host2.example.com/) user=username2
sshd[27152]: Accepted password for username2 from 10.1.1.81 port 11508 ssh2
sshd[27152]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user username2 by (uid=0)
sshd[27627]: subsystem request for sftp
Succeeds, but:
sshd[28161]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=[host.example.com](http://host.example.com/) user=username
sshd[28161]: Accepted password for username from 10.1.1.181 port 5761 ssh2
sshd[28161]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user username by (uid=0)
sshd[28657]: subsystem request for sftp
sshd[28684]: Did not receive identification string from UNKNOWN
sshd[28161]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user username
fails.
