Allocated local port 1023
If I CTRL-C and retry, it fails again (reproducible). However, if I retry
without breaking the first attempt, ssh gets allocated a different local port
number and the connection succeeds.
The sshd runs on a Pentium with 2.0.35, ssh client runs on a 68040 with
2.1.130.
But I've been seeing this on different types of machines, running both
Linux/m68k and Linux/ia32, with both 2.0.x and 2.1.x kernels, since more than a
year. There seems to be one common thing in the failures: the allocation of
the local port 1023. It doesn't always fail if the local port is 1023, but if
it fails, it's always 1023.
Needless to say, this is hard to track. Just when I wanted to start using
tcpdump, I couldn't reproduce the problem anymore :-(
Could this be related to a (possible) bug in the m68k IPv4 checksum code?
But then, the first time I saw the problem, it was between two ia32 boxes
running 2.0.x, more than one year ago.
Anyone with a clue? Thanks!
Greetings,
Geert
