Hi,
I'm trying to use 'set tunnel="ssh myhost /usr/bin/imapd"' to access
mail and I'm having mixed succes.
It works from some hosts and not from others (mostly all debian unstable
machines), it also works from localhost. Additionaly the the shell
command "ssh myhost /usr/bin/imapd" always works from any of my test
hosts.
However from some hosts can't get in and the following messages are
logged in /var/log/auth.log on the mail server:
Oct 6 15:25:42 zenon sshd[32027]: Could not reverse map address 10.0.2.154.
Oct 6 15:25:42 zenon sshd[32027]: Accepted publickey for ldm from 10.0.2.154
port 4577 ssh2
Oct 6 15:25:42 zenon PAM_unix[32029]: (ssh) session opened for user ldm by

Oct 6 15:25:42 zenon sshd[32029]: Disconnecting: Bad packet length 542197035.
Oct 6 15:25:42 zenon PAM_unix[32029]: (ssh) session closed for user ldm

MAIL
Oct 6 15:25:47 zenon PAM_unix[31994]: (ssh) session closed for user ldm
Google searches on "ssh bad packet" etc. didn't return anything beyond
ssh version and protocol mismatches. But all ssh versions are the same
in my tests.
I even tried using tcpdump to get at the client-server conversation but
realized the debian ssh doesn't support the "none" cipher.
I'd be grateful for any clues as to what is going on here.
Cheers,
