Hello, I'm guessing it's not exactly FreeBSD specific problem but here it goes... I have machine A and B, both FreeBSD 7.0 release machines. I have a cron job that sends some files from A to B every 30 min via rsync / ssh. About 3-4 times a month, sshd on machine B stops responding and the script just waits forever for it. When it happens, I tried to ssh into machine B and I don't even get username/password prompt. I can ssh into machine A fine, I can ping machine B from A fine, and it looks like ssh connection is made: $ ssh -vvv user2@192.168.1.2 OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.2 [192.168.1.2] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/user1/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/user1/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/user1/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 It just waits infinitely at this point. There is no other way to access and troubleshoot the machine B remotely (telnet is not enabled) and only thing I can do is call and ask for hard reset. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks, joe
