Hi again,
ssh-keygen is a command that comes along with your SSH client in Debian (and all other UNIX-like systems that supply OpenSSH).
Understood.
Yes, on port 21 being for ftp, meaning it would have to be blocked as well which seems frankly impossible.That sounds like your DSL company decided to block port 22, which is somewhere between ridiculous and evil. (21 is FTP, by the way.)
Not only has that been done, I actually got someone at Bell Canada to reset my account information on their side to default.1. Reboot your DSL modem and/or router just in case.
That worked once before when I could not reach dreamhost.
2. Test that you still can't ssh to server:22 3. Test that you can't connect via ssh to chat.shazow.net (it will allow anyone on, no credentials)
Okay, did that once producing the same dh key error, but will do it again with /v to note what happens.
4. Complain to your DSL company.
But that is why I desire a server to test that, like here at shellworld, is using something other than port 22. Otherwise I just get a repeat of the same conversation, we do not support your operating system. Although, I am wondering, if the port were blocked, if I would get as much information as I am getting from /v?
