I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and upon completion found that I could no longer ssh into other computers that I routinely do so. There are several things I've checked:
- Kerberos authentication is working fine, that's not the problem.
- I tried restarting and reinstalling ssh, but neither helped.
- I tried copying over all ssh related files from my laptop (with a properly function ssh in 11.04) and replace what is on my 11.10 malfunctioning OS, but that did not help.
-
I tried deleting the .ssh/known_hosts file. On my next attempt, I received the normal message about connecting somewhere for the first time, but was still refused a connection.

Maybe the problem is in that readout, but I'm not familiar enough with this output to know.
My laptop which still has Ubuntu 11.04 still can successfully log into the computers I need to, so the problem is definitely related to the upgrade of my desktop to 11.10.

[edit:]
I think I figures something out:
If I do a ssh -vv name@computer.org.com (the computer I'm trying to log into), towards the end of the output I get:
Jason Nett 11:06:38 PM
debug1: Authentications that can continue: gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-keyex
debug1: No valid Key exchange context
debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic
debug2: we sent a gssapi-with-mic packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentication succeeded (gssapi-with-mic).
Authenticated to computer.org.com ([xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:xx).
Notice: "gssapi-with-mic" is in the list of "Authentications that can continue" and is the one that succeeded. When I try on the machine that lost it's ability to ssh, this output is:
debug1: Authentications that can continue: gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
debug2: userauth_kbdint
debug2: we sent a keyboard-interactive packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive
debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
Permission denied (gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive).
So on this machine, "gssapi-keyex" and "gssapi-with-mic" are never attempted–according to the verbose output–and only "keyboard-interactive" is attempted. From my online searches, I gather that gssapi-with-mic has something to do with communicating my kerberos authentication, but I'm not quite sure where to go from here, at the moment.
Hopefully this extra info can help us rectify the issue quickly.

Looks like it 'might' be something to do with ipv6 and ipv4 both trying to bind to port22. Try disabling ipv6 in sshd_config.
