Greets All: Deja just got purchased by google today, and, usenet search is gone. No answers out there, anymore folks. >:( I have my firewall redirected from the router to a FreeBSD box that can't do sshd for a few days because of recent exploits. It won't build. Period. Spent 5 hours on it. It ain't happening. FreeBSD's openssh is toasted. Error Message: Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1349676916 {How useful is that?} Have 8 working sshd-ed Linux boxen behind the firewall and want to redirect it through the FreeBSD, but, the following doesn't work: /sbin/ipfw add 0500 allow tcp 22 from any to 192.168.1.xxx. (where xxx is the host that does the patched openssh). The FreeBSD list is inept right now, and, can't decide on some random dude's patch to openssh-2.2.0, (which is really openssh-2.3.0 {or, so some ppl say}, or the 6 different procedures that may, or may not work while they're trying to figure it out. The Linux box took 5 minutes). This FreeBSD router is about 2 seconds away from a Slackware boot/root disk from oblivion. Any gurus out there wanna help, I'd appreciate it. Sorry for the OT post. My frustration with FreeBSD should be noted. Perhaps, I should stick with Linux. The BSD was good to a point, but, at times like this, I have more important things to deal with.
