Description of problem: After a recent upgrade I am no longer able to log in to the embedded devices like HP ProCurve ethernet switches or APC master switches - the remote device just closes the connection after receiving the password. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-server-5.1p1-2.fc9.i386 openssh-clients-5.1p1-2.fc9.i386 openssh-askpass-5.1p1-2.fc9.i386 openssh-5.1p1-2.fc9.i386 How reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. install the above version of openssh 2. try to log in to the remote device using password Actual results: connection is closed by the remote side. APC master switches do not say anything, with HP ProCurve ssh says the following: Received disconnect from XXX: 2: protocol error: rcvd type 80 Expected results: Command-line prompt on HP ProCurve (tested 2650, 2848, 4300), menu screen on APC (tested version 7920). Additional info: Downgrading to 5.0p1-1.fc9 fixes the problem. The problem happens at least on i386 and x86_64. I will attach the two ssh -v sessions (one with 5.0p1-1.fc9, the other one with 5.1p1-2.fc9).
Created attachment 320228 [details] ssh -v with 5.0p1 and 5.1p1 to the APC master switch.
Do you see anything suspicious in ssh -vvv session with the 5.1p1?
Created attachment 320323 [details] ssh -vvv to the APC master switch (5.0p1)
Created attachment 320325 [details] ssh -vvv to the APC master switch (5.1p1) OK, here you are. Running diff -u on the above two files did not show anything I can make sense of :-) [Meta: is it just me, or is Bugzilla these days _awfully_ slow? Just opening the bug page took about half a minute here, the same for adding attachments and every other page]
openssh-5.1p1-3.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openssh-5.1p1-3.fc9
Works for me (tested x86_64 arch only, against both HP and APC boxes). Thanks for solving the problem this fast! [Meta from the comment #4 stil holds, bugzilla is still very slow here]
Upstream solved it just today, not me :)
openssh-5.1p1-3.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
