Hi,
Versions:
OS: Solaris 2.6
HW: SPARC and PC (Compaq)
SSH server: 2.1.12 (SPARC)
SSH client: 2.1.12 (SPARC) and 2.0.8, build 7 (Windows95)
This may seem a little complicated but it is not..
Problem:
The SSH daemon rather often spawns new SSH daemons which go wild thus
consuming a lot of CPU.
Env:
The machine that runs the daemon is a SPARC w/ 2.6,.
Clients who connects to it run Solaris on SPARC.
The PC clients are on a separate Novell network w/ w95 on Compaq.
Connectin w/ ReflectionX (Yes, I know ReflextionX totally lacks X
authorization).
I am pretty sure that it is not the wirus95 clients which are the
cause of this problem but the clients from the SPARCs.
Have anyone else seen this problem ? is there a fix ?
I upgraded to .13 today, dunno if it helps.
My only theory so far is that it might involve bash 1.0.16.
Will try bash 2.x if the SSH upgrade does not do any good.
