Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.4p1-1
Severity: important
Hi there,
Over the past week or so I've noticed ssh randomly dying and making
several servers inaccessable. Today I caught something useful in one of
the logfiles which might explain this problem.
Aug 5 07:45:16 ftoomsh sshd[6025]: fatal: Couldn't obtain random bytes
(error 604389476)
In my opinion sshd should not completely exit when this occurs but
instead drop the specific connection which caused this problem. At the
moment what happens is that the parent process exists and no further ssh
connections to a machine can be established.
For this reason I've set the severity to important as I've had to go in
and visit machines some distance away that I hadn't seen for a few
months because ssh had exited in this manner.
Regards,
Anand

I hereby close the bug. Nobody seem to be able to reproduce anymore. The
current linux UML maintainer (Richard Weinberger) can not recall to have
ever seen such a bug (but then he wasn't around 2001).
Feel free to reopen the bug with more info once someone is able to
trigger it again.
