ssh to IPv6 address

[sujithjohn]

Hi ,

I have 2 RHEL5.5 64bit machines with IPV6 stack enabled.
I am not able to ssh to the second host using IPv6 address :


ssh -6 -l root [fd20:8b1e:b255:40c5:214:5eff:fefa:bcb0]

"/etc/ssh/sshd_config :

#Port 22
#Protocol 2,1
Protocol 2
AddressFamily inet6
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
ListenAddress [fd20:8b1e:b255:40c5:214:5eff:fedd:1388]
ListenAddress [::]


CAn someone please help me with the steps to get this resolved.

Thanks in advanced.

You never provided the error message so it is next to impossible to know where to start, but, I would throw a -v in there to get some debugging info. If you still cant figure it out, post the output.
