Hello, is it possible to create a backport of the latest openssh (7.x) for wheeze.
Background: We are using gitlab.com to mirror our repositories. The reposiotries themselves are hosted here internally on a wheeze box, which we can not replace at the moment for various reasons. AFter each push, there is a hook which mirrors the repository to gitlab.com. This was working before, but stopped recently. I have identified the problem to be the ssh connection (I tried the same connection method on another box with openssh-client 7.2, and it works). But not with 6.6 we have on wheeze. So, I guess there's something changed after 6.6. With 6.6 on wheeze: $ ssh -vvv -o LogLevel=DEBUG3 -i somekeyfile [email protected] OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1t 3 May 2016 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/sunny/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to gitlab.com [52.167.219.168] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug3: Incorrect RSA1 identifier debug3: Could not load "somekeyfile" as a RSA1 public key debug1: identity file somekeyfile type 1 debug1: identity file somekeyfile-cert type -1 debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Debian-4~bpo70+1 ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection timed out With 7.2 on another box: OpenSSH_7.2p2, OpenSSL 1.0.2l-fips 25 May 2017 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/sunny/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 20: Applying options for * debug2: resolving "gitlab.com" port 22 debug2: ssh_connect_direct: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to gitlab.com [52.167.219.168] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file somekeyfile type 1 debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory debug1: identity file somekeyfile-cert type -1 debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.2 debug1: match: OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.2 pat OpenSSH* compat 0x04000000 .... keep going - connection completes -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
