How about an ifconfig -a from both systems
Done. Submitted to the list in a previous message.
clearing the arp cache of
both hosts
Done.
and capturing tcpdumps on both ends during an entire
connection attempt?
I ran tcpdump on both hosts while attempting to secure shell from the
Linux box.
From the OpenBSD box, I ran:
tcpdump -n host not 10.10.1.130 > bge1.dump
and got nothing back in bge1.dump at all. tcpdump reported:
tcpdump: listening on bge1, link-type EN10MB
^C
23 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
From the Linux box I got a little more information:
I ran: tcpdump -n host not 10.10.1.130 > eth0.dump
I'm not going to kill the list with the whole tcpdump (email me off-list
if you want it), but I grepped for the IP address of the OpenBSD box:
cat eth0.dump |grep 172.16.1.22
17:16:47.766317 arp who-has 172.16.1.22 tell 172.16.1.144
17:16:48.766068 arp who-has 172.16.1.22 tell 172.16.1.144
17:16:49.765827 arp who-has 172.16.1.22 tell 172.16.1.144
Does it seem as if the OpenBSD box isn't responding to the ARP requests?
