Hello Today I suddenly couldn't log in via ssh to a server I upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE 4 days ago. When I tried connect to port 22 using telnet(1) the following just happend:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] telnet 192.168.3.2 22 Trying 192.168.3.2... Connected to jet.nitro.dk. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. The servar had been running FreeBSD 5.2.1 for a while without problems. After logging in on the console and sending the sshd master process a -HUP I could log in again (and I get the normal banner when connecting to the port with telnet(1)). I can't rally see in the log what happened, but there is a lot of "stale" sshd's hanging around, like: root 46015 0,0 0,4 4928 2220 ?? I Ons08pm 0:00,01 sshd: blah [pam] (sshd) root 58286 0,0 0,4 4920 2236 ?? Is Tor12pm 0:00,04 sshd: pascal [priv] (sshd) sshd 58287 0,0 0,0 0 0 ??

I Tor01pm 0:00,01 sshd: ole_gudiksen [pam] (sshd) pstree show the connection between some of the processes like this: | |-+= 58286 root sshd: pascal [priv] (sshd) | | |--- 58287 sshd <defunct> | | \--- 58288 root sshd: pascal [pam] (sshd) From all.log: Nov 11 12:04:38 nfishbone sshd[58286]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 82.211.207.191 Nov 11 13:02:34 nfishbone sshd[58932]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 192.38.66.33 The only odd thing I could find in the logs with regard to ssh was a few lines like: Nov 11 22:35:49 nfishbone sshd[62378]: syslogin_perform_logout: logout() returned an error I don't use any kind of "exotic" authentication on the system, only standard unix password file and ssh-keys. Does anybody have an idea of what's going on here, and if it's a ssh bug or something silly I have done? -- Simon L. Nielsen FreeBSD Documentation Team
