Hello,
Web searches on this issue are polluted by logs of hacking attempts and
suchlike; can't find any simple technical explanation of the condition
that's actually triggering it, though.
Host's logs are filled with "Did not receive identification string from
x.x.x.x" messages when i am connected to the host *from* x.x.x.x at a
rate of one every 2-3 minutes. What is the cause of sshd's ire?
x.x.x.x which i am connecting from is a Gentoo system, using ebuild
openssh-4.2_p1-r1.
The host is Ubuntu using openssh-server 1:4.1p1-7ubuntu4.
Across the network, i have noticed that a few Debian systems
consistently complain in this manner about Gentoo systems that connect
to them. I am assuming the ssh client on gentoo is (or isn't...)
sending something to the remote host that it doesn't like, but i'm not
sure where to start looking, even...
