Hello all, one of my servers started to behave strangely...
I can connect with ssh to the server and also to other machines from the server without any problems from a variety of sites, and don't experience any delays. However with sftp I am able to only connect to the port, but the operations (that includes even checking the password at login) either complete with a great delay, or time out with connection reset by peer. This happens both when connecting to the server or sftp-ing out from the server. This used to go on for quite a while, then it occasionally corrects itself, then starts it again, again without any visible cause. The ssh package version is 3.4p1-1.woody.3 (latest woody security update package). The sshd_config is set to have only protocol 2. Has anyone met similar behaviour? Are there any rootkits out there or man-in-the-middle programs out there which are only able to simulate ssh correctly, but have problems with sftp, which may cause this behaviour?
