Enh. Of course the client might not be choosing 5557. It tries to find a free port and tells the server to use that. (Sure would have been useful if we (upstream) had thought to log the port we were attempting to use, either in the client or in the server...) If the client had, for instance, a logical bug where it searched for the first *used* port, or its test for free-ness always returned false causing the port to wrap around, I guess that could cause this symptom. (The relevant code is in utility/netintf.c:find_next_free_port().) Is there anything unusual about your network stack? Lack of IP connectivity, real IPv6 connectivity, non-default kernel options, anything like that? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
