Tectia SSH (6.x) and IBM SVC (SAN Volume Controller)

Hi,

I have an implementation of IBM's disk virtualization technology in my environment - SVC (SAN Volume Controller). The device is managed by either GUI or CLI. In order to use CLI, a 1024-bit RSA public key needs to be uploaded for the user to authenticate against.

I am able to authenticate against the SVC cluster using SSH clients like PuTTY and OpenSSH. I am also able to connect to the SVC cluster using Tectia SSH version 4.x. The problem arises when I try authenticating against the cluster using Tectia verison 6.x. I keep getting an error of "Request exec channel error: Operation failed."

When I set debugging to be a bit more verbose, I do see one line that stands out to me:

debug: 24/08/2010 14:12:23:730 BrokerConnection/broker_connection.c:1033/broker_connection_auth_notify_cb: Authentication successful.

So, if I'm reading correctly, I do get authenticated okay to the cluster using my private/public key pair. However, the next few lines proceed to disconnect me from the SVC cluster:

debug: 24/08/2010 14:12:23:733 BrokerConnection/broker_connection.c:228/broker_connection_disconnect_cb: Remote disconnect. Reason 2: bind: Permission denied
debug: 24/08/2010 14:12:23:734 BrokerServer/broker_server.c:1360/ssh_secsh_broker_server_open_exec: Exec '(null)' failed

Request exec channel error: Operation failed.

Has anyone here tried using Tectia SSH with an IBM SVC cluster and managed to get it to work?

Thanks.
