Hi Ken,
For the encrytion method have a look at 'man authconfig ' and
/etc/sysconfig/authconfig
I deal with a mix of Solaris and Linux at work. Prior to getting OpenSSH on
the Solaris boxes, they ran the commersial sshd. In order to communicate I
needed to install the commercial ssh client on my workstation (I then used 2
scripts (or aliases?) to launch ssh depending on the remote server os.
I was also told, but never tried, if your having scp problems between them
(maybe ssh?) then try -C to turn compression off (?) (i looked at the man
page for that option but it wasn 't to clear at first reading)
If this is not the problem/solution, can you post the details of what your
doing (exact command you run), errors you get when it fails, versions of ssh
on each system, errors in messages or security logs....
