I'm confused because your entering localhost as the destination host which is itself.

Ssh issues are normally not that big of a deal and fall into one of these.

- dns issue where the you'll see the connection hang for quite sometime and then finally connect.

- your she'll on the destination is messed op so try logging into the console if u can and see if that works. That or some put the exit command in your profile so it logs u out then in ;)

- your trying to do something that requires a terminal try adding the -t option "ssh -t"

- finally if your running a command try and quote it like ssh -ti my.key mike@box "ls"

oh! I forgot to mention that if I run 

ssh -i ./bandit26.sshkey  bandit26@localhost     

it just logs me out after login. Sorry I didn't mention that before.

The last line after running it with the verbose flags is:

I'm trying to ssh into a computer. The shell it uses is not bash. I've run:

bandit25@melinda:~$ ssh -i ./bandit26.sshkey  bandit26@localhost        
bandit25@melinda:~$ ssh -i ./bandit26.sshkey  bandit26@localhost ls       
bandit25@melinda:~$ ssh -i ./bandit26.sshkey  bandit26@localhost echo $0    
bandit25@melinda:~$ ssh -i ./bandit26.sshkey  bandit26@localhost ps -p $$

but they all seem to be waiting for input. Please.... what do I need to read to figure this out?
