2621 SSH Client Hanging

I'm trying to configure SSH on a 2621 running IOS ik9o3s3.

The ssh server is working fine but whenever I attempt to connect via the ssh client to a remote host (or even the 2621 itself) the session just hangs and I have to break out of the vty session. It leaves behind a "zombie" ssh session which does not time out and which I cannot kill using "disconnect ssh".

I've tried to debug the problem but there is no output at all from "debug ip ssh client". I've set "terminal monitor" when I log in.

Debugging on the remote host shows that the cisco attempts to make a connection but it never completes. Here is a snoop trace from a solaris box (which works for several other ssh clients).

# /opt/sbin/sshd -d debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.0p1 debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1 debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: private host key: #1 type 1 RSA debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: private host key: #2 type 2 DSA debug1: rexec_argv[0]='/opt/sbin/sshd' debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-d' debug1: Bind to port 22 on ::. Server listening on :: port 22. debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0. Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22. Generating 768 bit RSA key. RSA key generation complete. debug1: fd 5 clearing O_NONBLOCK debug1: Server will not fork when running in debugging mode. debug1: rexec start in 5 out 5 newsock 5 pipe -1 sock 10 debug1: inetd sockets after dupping: 3, 3 Connection from 192.168.15.1 port 50758

This appears OK to me as far as it gets but it never gets to the authentication/login phase?

"sh ssh" gives the following (after 6 failed connections): cisco#sh ssh Connection Version Encryption State Username

0 1.5 3DES Session started young 1 1.5 3DES Session started young 2 1.5 3DES Session started young 3 1.5 3DES Session started young 4 1.5 3DES Session started young 5 1.5 3DES Session started young

The above are the "zombie" connections one from each attempt to set up an SSH connection from the router.

"sh ip ssh" gives the following: cisco#sh ip ssh SSH Enabled - version 1.5 Authentication timeout: 120 secs; Authentication retries: 3

Anyone have any idea as to why the ssh client just hangs and why I'm not getting any debug output from it?

Thanks in advance, Norm
