Hello,
I have two hosts "hostA" and "hostB". I'm trying to perform an ssh agent check and I'm getting:
26110:20120713:215807.165 item [hostB:ssh.run[test]] became not supported: Cannot obtain authentication methods: Would block requesting userauth list
The item is set up with the root user in the check. The public key is id_dsa.pub and the private key is id_dsa. I've added the public keygen key for zabbix server account to the authorized_keys2 file and I've verified I can ssh into hostB from hostA without a password. (sudo -u zabbix ssh root@hostB) I've also modified the server config file to point to the correct path of the id_dsa files (/home/zabbix/.ssh)
The script is just a simple "service sshd status" (I'm using this as a test)
I set up a watch on /var/log/secure and I can see that it is connecting, but it appears to be timing out:
Jul 13 22:10:54 hostB sshd[6059]: Received disconnect from 11.22.33.44: 11: Normal Shutdown
I created /etc/hosts entries on both machines, and it finally worked!
THE PROBLEM IS THIS:
The ssh agent tries to do a name lookup upon connecting, and when there isn't an entry for that host, it just gives up after a while and logs you in. The Zabbix timeout period is much less than the ssh login time. The Zabbix Server error message is very misleading and poorly worded.
Thanks,
