Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter lists the information items needed by support when reporting an SSH2 related problem and a number of
common error messages that SSH2 or an SSH client can produce, and explains what they mean in more detail.
We do not attempt to list all error messages here: there are many that should never occur, and some that should be self-
explanatory.
