SSH key weirdness

[PlaceboMessiah]

after waging war with Synology DSM not recognizing ups-snmp fired from TrueNas, I figured I’d just use the automatic ssh connection to accomplish basically the same thing.

However, making DSM ssh-key friendly was only one hurdle.

ssh -vvv reveals something is bonkers.

Here’s what happens when I try to login to the DSM from the TrueNAS shell...it’s like part of the key exchange happens and then TrueNAS drops the ball:
