Greetings. If compression is disabled in the sshd config file, and a client attempts to connect with compression enabled, the session fails with the following error message: no matching comp found: client zlib server none This error message is produced on line 285 of kex.c (version 3.4p1). This happens with either UsePrivilegeSeperation on or off, so I do not believe it is a PrivSep issue. Am I mistaken in thinking that disabling compression on the server would simply silently disable compression for all connections to that server? -- Bruce Guenter <bruceg at em.ca> http://em.ca/~bruceg/ http://untroubled.org/ OpenPGP key: 699980E8 / D0B7 C8DD 365D A395 29DA 2E2A E96F B2DC 6999 80E8 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
