Title Body

Using the python interactive shell and openssh running locally, I keep getting an "No existing session" exception using paramiko. My code is below. import paramiko ssh = paramiko.SSHClient() ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) ssh.connect('localhost',username=name,password=pw) Results in: No handlers could be found for logger "paramiko.transport" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/paramiko-1.7.7.1-py2.6.egg/paramiko/client.py", line 332, in connect self._auth(username, password, pkey, key_filenames, allow_agent, look_for_keys) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/paramiko-1.7.7.1-py2.6.egg/paramiko/client.py", line 493, in _auth raise saved_exception paramiko.SSHException: No existing session I was able to connect previously, but had been trying to adjust this to allow for key based authorization. That failed, and since then I have not been able to connect locally. I have tried restarting openssh, and have connected to another server successfully. After searching through here, all I have found are mentions of authorization exceptions, which does not appear to be the case here.
