sshd woes

[jschweg]

I seem to be having some issues with sshd, and wanted some opinions as to what the problem could be. (Using the most current version of Open SSH from portage)

When connected to my gentoo box via ssh through putty for windows I am getting the following error messages:

"Incomming packet was garbled on decryption"

or

"Invalid MAC received"

After I get these messages the connection terminates. I haven't done any testing other than putty, but it does seem to happen on any windows machine running it. (This is also the most current version of putty)

It also only happens when there is a lot of activity, as when I'm emerging something and there is lots of stuff scrolling across the screen.

Any ideas?

Could it be that your ethernet hardware is failing?

What happens if you ssh from the Gentoo box to itself? This would use the loopback adapter instead of the ethernet card.

You could also test by copying files, etc.

I guess this has something to do with the latest OpenSSL, try downgrading. I haven't tried it though. You may also connect by using Blowfish as your Enc Algo, in your putty. AES won't work.

Had the same problems... downgraded openssl and everything worked fine again.
