Is your username on the machine you are ssh'ing from the same as your username on the machine you are ssh'ing to? If your username locally is USERLOCAL, then "ssh -v ipaddress" is equivalent to "ssh -v USERLOCAL@ipaddress" or "ssh -v -l USERLOCAL ipaddress" If your usernames are the same, then the only way I can see "ssh ipaddress" failing while "ssh -l username ipaddress" succeeds is if your .ssh/config file has a specific username for that machine set - something like this: # cat .ssh/config Host 1.2.3.4 User remoteuser The -l argument to ssh would override that, but without the -l you would be trying to "ssh -l remoteuser 1.2.3.4" -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
