Hi, I have a very simple server setup, using shorewall as my firewall. I have a line like this at the top of my rules file to allow ssh connections, but limited to 3 connection per minute with a burst rate of 3:
SSH/ACCEPT net $FW - - - - 3/min:3 - Now when I have that in place, and from a remote machine run scp server:/some/file ., I find that the scp stalls after a few kb reproducibly. Altering the above line to SSH/ACCEPT net $FW i.e. with no connection rate limiting fixes the issue and all is well. My understanding of scp is that it opens a connection and uses that for the whole file, and so it shouldn't be exceeding the connection limit. So what am I doing wrong? I really would like to limit ssh connections.
