SSHD stops working for no reason.

Travis86 · 08-03-2003, 12:58 PM

I've gotten SSHD running on my PS2, but it doesn't work. No, that isn't an oxymoron. I go to log in, and after I get through the login, it just stops working and never gives me a prompt. Sometimes I enter my user name and stops working before it can give my password, and sometimes it doesn't even let me put in my username.

Also, when I do login, the SSH client's log says the login was successful.

What's wrong?

Does the server logs say anything about the failed connections?

Travis86 · 08-04-2003, 07:29 PM

Um, where exactly are the server logs. They aren't in /var/logs and "man sshd | grep "logs" doesn't turn anything up.

Also, I belive I have unintentionally double-posted. I started a thread for the last problem I had with SSH, and when I fixed that, I ran into this problem. I started a new thread (this one) for the new problem, but the people starting helping me with this problem in my other thread. Oh, well.

grep sshd /var/log/messages should give you a list of sshd happennings.

Several times it says "fatal: Cannot bind any address." It also says "Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22". Why 0.0.0.0?

Normally it times out after (or before) I login, but just now I got to log in for a bit before it said "Connection reset by peer." The log for that session was like so:

Server listening on 0.0.0.0. port 22
Could not reverse map address 10.0.0.2
Accepted password for travis from 10.0.0.2 port 1398 ssh2
(sshd) session opened for user travis by (uid=0)
(sshd) session closed for user travis

It's like I quit on purpose, but I didn't.

Have you tried "service sshd restart" as root, then tried to log in. (Thats what I have to do on my machine

)

As I recall, this was a bug in the ethernet driver for the Playstation 2 network adapter. After I patched it, everything worked fine.

Thanks anyway.
