Bug#275731: ssh: Received disconnect
Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.1
Severity: wishlist
With the newest version of ssh, I can no longer connect to iLO
("integrated Lights-Out": console of HP ProLiant):
$ ssh -l <user> <iLO>
Received disconnect from <ip of iLO>: 2: Client Disconnect
Since very little changed since the version before, I had the idea that
it has something to do with the quite long version string:
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
So I modified /usr/bin/ssh (using hexedit): I set the "a" of "sarge" in
the version string to 0x00:
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian 1:3.8.1p1-8.s, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
And ssh to iLO worked again.
Perhaps there are other ssh daemon implementations with similar
problems. It might be an idea to shorten the version string in
future versions of ssh.
But this looks like a bug of iLO, so I should probably report this to
HP.
