Because the host key is not known.

Try: ssh ng.oops.intern -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -l amanda
and accept the host key.

ssh doesn't use xinetd.

--> Can't use amrecover via ssh-auth here.

I always get:

# amrecover dds -s ng -t ng
Host key verification failed.
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2b1. Contacting server on ng ...
[request failed: EOF on read from ng.oops.intern]

ng is the server, running 2.5.2b1.

The client runs 2.5.1p3 and has

# cat /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf
auth "ssh"
ssh_keys "/root/.ssh/id_rsa"

id_rsa.pub is in the authorized_keys of the amanda-user on the server.

amdump via ssh-auth works fine.

Any hints on this?

Doesn't "auth=ssh" have to be in the xinetd-entry on the server as well?
I can't find clear infos on how to edit the xinetd.d-file for ssh-only.

Thanks, Stefan.
