Enter-PSSession The SSH client session has ended with error - from fedora linux

Question

I have a fresh win 2019, added open-ssh and configured winRM.

From the fedora box, I can ssh into the win

Also, when I telnet to port 5985, it works fine

However, when I try

Enter-PSSession -HostName dbservansible -UserName ansible

I get

Enter-PSSession: The SSH client session has ended with error message: The SSH transport process has abruptly terminated causing this remote session to break.

my user is in the remote manag group as well as in admin group.

In sshd_config I did

PasswordAuthentication yes

Subsystem powershell c:/progra~1/powershell/7/pwsh.exe -sshs -nologo

Whait is missing?

Answer 1

One thing I would like to add, I have just discovered that issuing

winrm get winrm/config/Listener

I get

WSManFault

Message

    ProviderFault

        WSManFault

            Message = This resource requires the following selectors: Address Transport

Error number: -2144108454 0x8033805A

The WS-Management service cannot process the request because the request did not contain all required selectors.

but issuing

winrm e winrm/config/listener

It seems verything OK

running

winrm get winrm/config -r:dbservansible

again it seems OK
