Re: Putty Crashes at login !!

HI,

Try to put in your sshd_config file this entry:

# Logging

#obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel DEBUG

In /etc/syslog.conf file insert the follow entry for obtaining the best logging of SSHD activity:

auth.info                       /var/adm/sshlog

Create the SSHLOG file:

# touch /var/adm/sshlog

Restart syslog service:

Do you need help?

# /etc/init.d/syslog stop
# /etc/init.d/syslog start

then you can retry to use putty. In SSHLOG file you can see all the SSHD activity.

Try to use:

tail -f /var/adm/sshlog

to visualize in real time sshd activity.
