I just finished installing Open SSH v4.3p2 on my Solaris 10 computer.
It seems that if I try to connect to any other computer using SSH v2 I
get a "bad packet length" error. If I use SSH v1, it works just fine.
The two different versions I'm using for testing:
dcress$ ssh -v
OpenSSH_4.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
dcress$ /opt/OpenSSH/bin/ssh -v
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005
If I use my older v4.0p1 of OpenSSH I have no problems going to any our
servers.
The output from 4.3p2:
dcress$ /opt/OpenSSH/bin/ssh -2 sn4dev01
Disconnecting: Bad packet length 3311162863.
The packet length number is alway different.
Here is the debug output from an attempted connection:
