    Hi ,

    My idea is to disbale telnet and use SSH for AIX login

    1. I first installed ssl on my AIX box
    2. Secondly installed SSH on the box.

    I followed this procedure for six machines .( all same configration, hardware and ML

    Out of this three is working fine,

    for the other three i am not able to ssh as a normal user.
    Ssh is happening only as root user

    The ssh client software that i use is putty.

    Kindly adivse on this issue .

    Thanks and Regards,
    Ajit

    ssh -v user@host

    and see where is it stuck?

    I think this is probably a bug.
    upgrade your servers even the one that doesn't have issue. because you don't when the bug hit you.
