OpenVMS SSH Error Messages

[dillona_aix]

Hi,
I have an account on OpenVMS/Alpha. When I issue the logout command, I am logged out of the server, but PuTTY seems not to realize that. It just gives me random error messages. It usually gives me a "Incoming packet garbled on decryption", "Server unexpectledly closed network connection", et cetra. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I am using the latest version of PuTTY.

TBH, who cares?
as long as it logs you out of the system properly on the server side.. the extra "ok" press won't kill you

hi,

in fact ssh implementation on OpenVMS has some problems. I can not even log in with putty to VMS. It kills the whole TCP/IP stub (driver) on Windows for few minutes.
But in the same time from unix boxes ssh works perfect.
If somebody have time to investigate would be nice to inform putty's development team about this anomaly.

Zoli, did you try putty from a linux/bsd machine aswell?

Maybe this is limited just to win32 putty client..

hi,

no, I have never used putty on unix - on unix I am quite happy with command line

If someone has an account on AIX, I can try it extensively from both windows and unix using putty + others to see if I can come up with a "problem" for us to report.
