Hi,

I’m attempting to scan a Centos machine via SSH. I’m seeing auth errors in Spicworks and I have done the following to debug the issue:

  • Used the test method of the network accounts and the Test passes

  • Confirmed that I can access server using SSH2 from Spiceworks host using Putty.

The log files show:

I[12:31:17.01 c48f1c] attempting to find ssh computer - cloud1(..*.143) port 22…
I[12:31:32.11 c48f1c] Classifier-0: Handling SSH Error: Timeout::Error: execution expired
I[12:31:32.11 c48f1c] Classifier-0: retrying after SSH timeout looking at computer cloud1

It would appear that Spicworks is attempting to run a command that times out at the target machine.

Could you advise on how to debug this further? Can logging be turned up to see the command that’s causing the problem?

Thanks,

Steve

Bump!

Have you checked the syslog or other logs on the CentOS box? It might give you more feedback on why the CentOS box isn’t responding.

I’ve got it, combination of events resulted in server reboot which fixed it!
