From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: "scp machine2:/tmp/file ." fails. Machine "machine2" is RH6.2 using open- ssh 2.5.2p2 installed from RPMs and machine1 (.) is RH7.1 running stock open-ssh install. machine1 asks if I want to accept the RSA1 fingerprint from remote. I answer "yes" and it prompts for password. After I issue password, I get message "connection closed by remote host." machine2 logs the following in /var/log/messages: "May 16 09:34:56 remote sshd[989]: Accepted password for joeuser from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd port 1044" Nothing is logged by machine1. ssh works fine between the two machines and if I ssh from machine1 into machine2 I can execute "scp /tmp/file machine1:/tmp" and the file copies no problem. machine2 was a fresh install of RH7.1 and just to make sure it wasn't a problem with the install, I re-installed from scratch. The problem still existed. machine1 has been a server in production for almost a year. I've never had a problem with it. I have not tried to duplicate this other than re-installing machine1. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see description. Actual Results: see description. Expected Results: expected file to copy from /tmp/file on machine 2 to pwd (.) on machine1. Additional info:
Can you turn on debugging mode on the ssh server?
Hi I do also experience simular problems. I have two rh7.1 which I have problems logging in to. (Other rh7.1 computers I have seems to do just fine) Problems exists when both connecting from a rh6.1(openssl-0.9.5a-14, openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-5) and rh7.1(openssl-0.9.6-3, openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-5) I experience this problem with ssh (havn't tested this with scp as the initial bugreporter) When connection with the rh6.1 client it fails most of the time: [vl@foo vl]$ ssh test vl@mao's password: Last login: Fri Jun 29 16:56:51 2001 from foo.bar sh: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: No such file or directory Connection to test closed. The server accepts the password but then closes the connection When connecting from a rh7.1 I manage to logon most of the time. It fails more rarely from rh7.1. But it seems to fail more often if I supply a command on the ssh prompt like this # ssh test ls -l I will submit a log from the server as you requested Best regards, vidar

This is maybe related to 61658. At least the report sent by dpo in 61658 seems to be a duplicate of this.
Does anyone still experience this ? For me, the problem disappeared a long time ago (before I upgraded to openssh-3.x.) Is it possible that this bug is releated to BUG 54741 ? 54751 is resolved. So is this problem as well I believe. I don't think this is releated to BUG 61658. 61658 is regarding stalling connections. This bug however, causes login problems (you get disconnected as soon you have logged in)
> 54751 is resolved. So is this problem as well I believe. Sorry, a typo.. Should read: 54741 is resolved. So is this problem as well I believe.
Setting to MODIFIED state to get confirmation the problem is resolved. If not, please change status back to ASSIGNED, etc.
I do in fact still experience this problem, despite the updates to ssh since opening this case. Specifically, it occurs when I scp a file from a RH 6.2 box (server) to the local box (RH 7.1 client). The problem seems to be specific to the 6.2 box since I can recreate it on just about any other client (including Windows ports of scp). I will attempt to upload debug output.

6.2 is unsupported for many years now.
