similar to: SSH hanging

I am using OpenSSH on Redhat 6.2 (Intel) and Solaris 2.6 (Sparc). I have a job on the linux machine that ssh's to the Solaris machine every 20 seconds or so and runs uptime. The problem is that after many iterations of this, ssh will occasionally hang, and require a kill -9 to get rid of the process. The problem happens with both protocol version 1 and 2, but it seems to happened more often

Hello, Trying to get Oracle DataGuard running, which basically does a lot of work between two replicating databases via rsh/ssh. It is breaking because it pays very close attention to the exit status of ssh commands. We are using OpenSSH 2.5.2p2 (also tried 2.9p1, same result) on Solaris 7 and 8. This seems to be Solaris specific, because I can't reproduce it on Linux. I've

Hello all In a recent spate of paranoia we set our server (SuSE Linux 7.0, kernel 2.2.16) to use SSH version 2 and not SSH1. With openssh 2.3.0p1-5 running as client and server, we find that stdout output is occasionally dropped: ssh server echo "JJJ" usually emits JJJ, but sometimes returns nothing -- although the command is apparently performed. In the happy case the server logs

When I run this command: ssh -1 -v -n -l root njdb1b /usr/bin/X11/xterm -sb -sl 1000 -T njdb1b -e find /etc An xterm appears on my screen, the contents of /etc scroll by and then ssh exits. When I invoke the same command with the -2 option, the xterm appears (and disappears) but ssh never exits. netstat says the (ssh) connection is still established but the xterm is no longer

Hi, I use openssh-2.9p2 on a LynxOS i386 system. The ssh and scp clients work fine. Even sftp from other Linux systems works. But, if I make sftp to the localhost (LynxOS), the authentication succeeds, prints sftp> prompt and then exits. I don't know why this happens. I have not set the euid of ssh program to root as it does not work in LynxOS (may be problem with saved ids). Might this

Hi, I just grabed the 2.9p2 and can't forward X11 connections. This worked fine for me under 2.9p1 but with 2.9p2 it seems that $XAUTHORITY isn't getting set and when I try and set it manually connections to the Xserver still fail with: debug1: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol. debug1: X11 rejected 1 i1/o16 Verbose debugs below. client: OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH

I have a Digital Unix Version 4.0B and openssh works fine excect for sftpd. I can do most things things with sftp (copy files, change directories) but when I do an ls it drops the connection. This is with the most recent version of openssh "OpenSSH_2.5.1p1". I have included the output of sftpd -v -v . OpenSSH was complied with the gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 Byron Jennings

When I run a remote xterm, the ssh hangs even after I quit the xterm. Below is the output for the following sequence: client> ssh -v -v -v dazel xterm xterm> exit client> ^C The outcome is always the same - the ssh doesn't exit with I quit the xterm... I have to hit CTRL-C on the client side. polycut:~> ssh -v -v -v dazel xterm OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL

Just added myself to the list, and I saw that somebody else had the same problem that I have, namely that I can't get "scp" to work. The similarities I could see was that we both use linux as the platform for issuing the command "scp", however I also use linux on the destination. The other similarity is that we both are using strictly version 2 of the ssh protocol. I've

Hi OpenSSH developers, I am using openSSH (now 2.9.9p2, but prob occurs in 2.9p2 also) to execute commands on a remote machine which outputs data to stdout then pipes it to another invocation of ssh which connects back to the first machine in the same way, where it starts a program to read and store the output from the command on the second machine. I am using the "command" option in

Hi, I have the following problem: I have two computers. On the first RedHat 6.2 (Openssh 2.1.1) is installed. The second is an PC with Windows NT 4.0 (SP 6) with Cygwin and Openssh 2.1.1p4. The X-Server running on the WinNT machine is Hummingbird Exceed 6.1 . I have activated X11-Forwarding in the config-files on both machines. I'm sitting in front of the WinNT machine and want to do a

This is regarding openssh 2.3.0p1 (the following problem was seen on Linux client / server): I have a problem with openssh when i don't "login": ie. i do the following: ssh -2 10.1.6.13 echo 0 It doesn't print the "0". However, i can get it to print the "0" by doing the following: ssh -2 10.1.6.13 echo 0 \; sleep 1 using "ssh -2 10.1.6.13"

Hello all, Is it just me or is 'scp user at host1 user at host2' broken (if the server asks you for the password)? 1) [password required] >From OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 -> OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 -> OpenSSH 2.3.0, I get like: > scp pekkas at xxx:~/*.patch psavola at yyy:~/temp/ psavola at xxx's password: You have no controlling tty. Cannot read passphrase. lost connection 2)

Attached is the stderr output of ssh -v -v -v faxdial "dd if=/dev/zero bs=1c count=1000" 2> log1 | wc -c which leads to 423 (this time, it varies) on stdout, which should obviously be 1000 instead.

I am trying to resolve an issue with SSH2 version 2.5.2p2 on Solaris 2.6. SSH2, SSH1 and SCP all work fine in and out. The problem is with SFTP. I can SFTP out, but not in. I can't SFTP into itself. After I issue the command, I get a password prompt. After I give the password, the connection closes with an Exit Status 127. There are 3 other system configure the same and everything is

I'm using OpenSSH 2.5.2p2-1.7 on a RedHat 7.0 with all updates. Sometimes I can login fine, and sometimes I can't. It actually seems to almost alternate,

I'm getting "Protocol errors" when trying to scp files from my laptop to my desktop (only when trying to scp root at laptop:/path/file, not vis-vis). See screen dump's at end of e-mail for exact details. The most confusing thing about this problem (to me anyway), is that this is a one-way problem. I can log into the laptop and scp files down from the desktop no problems.

I just finished compiling openssh-2.1.0p3 on a SCO openserver system. I generated the keys fine and genereated the host keys both rsa and dsa without problems. ssh (version1) works great. I tried to use ssh (version 2) and after being prompted to login, it quits. I am attaching a script file of... ssh -v -2 root at sco to see if you can find the problem. Let me know how I can help.

Hi, Chances are this is me stuffing something up, but in cases its not, this is my problem. I've just installed the latest port of OpenSSH on a few Redhat 6.2 machines. That is version 2.2.0p1. Everything compiles ok, and using the supplied init and pam files I got openssh working without to much difficulty. In fact it was easier than the commerical versions. I can use ssh to login to remote

I have a few bug reports and some comments after upgrading from SSH 1.2.27 to OpenSSH 2.9p2 at a large university. OpenSSH often fail to return the correct exit status from the remote command if small amounts of data are transfered, SSH version is 2 and ssh is run with no STDIN or with the -n option. Below is an example. Authentication method is hostbased and the file sizes are 1KB, 4KB and 8KB:
