Through empiric testing, I have discovered that this is caused (for me at least) by a problem in the way that OpenSSL has coded the new Rijndael/AES implementation.
Allegedly, this has been fixed in the CVS tree, but YMMV as I have not had a chance to try it yet. To check this, look at your ssh_config files to see which alogorhythm you are using by default and if it is AES, switch to 3DES and try to connect. - Ed -----Original Message----- From: Saad Kadhi (Home Tech Accnt) To: Darren Wyn Rees Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org; misc@openbsd.org Sent: 2/26/01 10:56 PM Subject: Re: ssh on Debian, not connecting to OpenBSD 2.7 ["Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1349676916"] > >> Offhand, I'd recommend updating OpenSSH on the Debian box to 2.5.1p1, >> available from many mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html. > > > Will do. a fast ! :)) I have run into the same problems some time ago & upgrading solved all the issues + corrected some vulnerabilities at the same time. > > bash-2.04$ ssh -V > SSH Version OpenSSH-2.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. > Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f). well on this side too you need to upgrade to 2.5.1. -- Saad "Authoritarians thrive on censorship and secrecy.
