when i try to ssh to a host the connection doesn't start. i've monitored with tcpdump filtered for port 22, but it didn't capture anything. when i try telent o port 22 on the same host, everything works fine, and i have the capture made by tcpdump. i've installed net-misc/ssh and it works just fine Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ssh host 2.no entries in tcpdump filter 3.no connection 4. telnet host 22 works fine Actual Results: i cannot connect to any host via ssh Expected Results: logged me in emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer -fforce-addr" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/rc.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/wget /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer -fforce-addr" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.roedu.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo.org http://ftp.lug.ro/gentoo" LINGUAS="ro" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups curl directfb divx4linux eds emboss encode esd fam flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 hal imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline sdl spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib linguas_ro userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
no real info here sounds like firewall/isp network issue, not anything to do with openssh run `netstat -napt` and make sure that sshd is listening on all interfaces
I have this problem since last upgrate to openssh-3.9_p1-r3. it has nothing to do with firewall (i have accept in OUTPUT and INPUT Policy and no rules in this chains). and i have only one interfece.i told you that telnet on 22's port works fine and also that i have installed ssh2 and that one works fine also. on version 3.9_p1-r2 everithing was working just fine. maybe you should look again
the fact that you said you sniffed the packets and saw no traffic indicates that it isnt a bug in openssh why dont you try downgrading to openssh-3.8.1 and see if it works you also didnt comment about `netstat` display
