Soren, yes, the java ssh client connects from my Ubuntu desktop (the
machine from which ssh fails). The connection via Putty on Windows
works on the same home network (so via my NAT router, the same
internet IP); I can also connect through a proxy at work using Putty
or the java client).
The remote server is a RedHat machine. The shell is jailshell.
For what it's worth, once I am logged on to the remote server, I can
ssh to the remote server (in effect to local host) with no problems.
So whatever setting problems there may be on the remote server, they
do not cause problems with the older version of openssh-client on the
remote server. It appears that there is an incompatibility between the
two openssh versions. I was able to ssh in on older versions of Ubuntu
... Dapper, for example. How can I help to further identify the
problem?
