I am having the same problem and trying to follow your instructions.

I ran

##R##-zorn->[227] ##> ssh -V

Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f

To get the version number.

I also ran telnet host 22 and got back the following

SSH-2.0-Sun_SSH_1.0.1

I have tried the following

SSH-2.0-Sun_SSH_1.0.1

Sun_SSH_1.1

Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f

as the version number with no luck.

I keep getting the following message log.

Mar 2 14:03:47 zada.math.purdue.edu sshd[29349]: [ID 800047 auth.info] Bad protocol version identification 'Sun_SSH_1.1

Mar 2 14:03:47 zada.math.purdue.edu ' from 128.210.3.176

The only change in the log message is the version identification string.

How do I find the right version number to use?

Thanks

Robert

Thank you !

the second option (the one you preferred) was a good bet ! I added the lines as you indicate and that's solved my problem.

Best regards,

Three posibilities, off the top of my head:

On the client side:

1. Install syslog-ng instead of ksyslogd, and filter on the ip address of your hobbit server.
2. Call your logrotate script (assuming you use one) more often, and/or make it compress your old syslog messages.

On the hobbit server side: (this is my preferred option)

1. change your bb-services file ($HOBBIT/server/etc/bb-services) so that ssh test sends the version string. I think that will stop your sshd from complaining.

ie.:

[ssh|ssh1|ssh2] send "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.1\r\n" expect "SSH" options banner port 22
