[Bug 708493] Re: cannot login anymore: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

2011-05-18 Thread Schplurtz le déboulonné
Hello

The security man answered :

 This is the IDS embeded in a fire check point

So, no cisco. But what would be different if it were a CISCO, JUNIPER,
or ACME ? The fact that a third party is analysing and wrongly -- or
perhaps too much strictly, (or even rightly)-- identifying a packet from
a openssh=5.7  client to a  openssh5.7 server as an ssh protocol
violation and is resetting the connection seems enough to me. The
inconvenient of third parties is that you don't control them. I mean, It
seems there's not much that can be done, except, perhaps packaging an
openssh-client-old.

[Bug 708493] Re: cannot login anymore: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

2011-05-17 Thread Schplurtz le déboulonné
In my case it was due to an Intrusion Detection System
I have exactly the same problem. upgrade to 11.04 then ssh to the university I 
work won't work any more. both client and server say connection reset by 
peer, limiting the cipher length have it work. Details ares here : 

http://schplurtz.free.fr/wiki/envrac/reseau-bizbiz-ssh

Solution :
The Intrusion Detection System detects one of the TCP packets as :

   Malformed Key exchange init Message - SSH protocol violation

and then it sends two reset packets to both the client and server. each
of them then says : connection reset by peer

The security man removed the rule on the IDS, and then ssh works again !
magic.
