I may be missing something obvious, but don't see it - any help
would be appreciated. Here's the deal:
I wanna' make ftp connections from the private network to my OBSD 2.8
stable firewall host (darla) via a Windows ssh client - vandyke
securefx. FWIW, this client works fine w/ the OBSD 2.7 box outside the
firewall. Attempts to make an ssh connection from the 'securefx' client
to darla yield the following:
>From authlog:
May 3 10:30:51 darla sshd[16903]: Accepted password for jamoore from
192.168.1.5 port 1853 ssh2
May 3 10:40:51 darla sshd[28141]: fatal: Timeout before authentication
for 127.0.0.1.
After reviewing my sshd_config file, re-reading the FAQ :), and
comparing it to the sshd_config file on the OBSD 2.7 box I've concluded
that the config is OK (see sshd_config below).
So I figured it must have something to do with the firewall. I didn't
see anything obvious, but just to make sure I added logging to every
blocking rule. Checking the ipflog following the auth timeout showed
nothing relevant; i.e. ipfilter doesn't seem to be causing the timeouts.
Any ideas???
Thanks,
