Hi, Has anyone else out there encountered problems with OpenSSH in opensuse 10.2?
I'm having a weird problem connecting to certain servers: ssh connects absolutely fine, but attempting to run any commands once connected causes the session to hang. My investigations so far would seem to indicate that the session hang occurs when more than n bytes are transferred (not sure how many bytes, but a very small number) For example: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> connects ls /directory/with/very/few/files -> works ls /usr/bin -> causes session to hang (or anything that might require transfer of more than a few bytes) ... running `ls /directory/with/very/few/files` multiple times also causes the session to hang. Initially, I thought it might be something to do with an incompatibility between versions of OpenSSH on the client and host machines: suse 10.2 running OpenSSH 4.4p1 and the hosts on which I am experiencing problems all run OpenSSH 3.9p1 (RHEL4). However, the connection problems do not occur consistently with OpenSSH 3.9p1 as there are other servers running this to which I can connect without any strange behaviour. The elements which seem to lead to SSH hanging are: 1. OpenSSH 4.4p1 2. Combined with some (unknown) router or server configuration at the host's end Reverting to an older version of OpenSSH (or another distro) "fixes" the problem ... however, I would rather use opensuse and would rather not have to rip out the default ssh and ssl in order to do so. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Does anyone know what settings (either on client or host machine) might lead to this problem? Does anyone know a fix?! :D I've googled this subject to death over the last few days, but can't seem to find any answer ... it's beginning to get a bit desperate :( ... and the problem is difficult to debug because I can't get an SSH connection long enough to get any useful information from the host! Any comments/tips/suggestions etc very gratefully received. Cheers, Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
