CoreOs and ssh login failing

Posted on October 23, 2014

Howdy !

ssh login works for all distros except for coreos. Do I need to use a specific algo or a certain key length for coreos ?

Thanx, Matthias

Your existing SSH keys should work fine on CoreOS. What user are you connecting as? Try using core instead of root.

I have the similar problem.

It stucks at expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY.
