Ubuntu :: SSH - Connection Closed On Password Authentication

Jan 7, 2011

I have a weird problem with ssh, I am trying to ssh to a solaris server (sparc) running solaris 10 from my Ubuntu box and as soon as it authenticates the password it closes the connection. The box is located on a internal network in a wiring closet with no ability for me to access console but i still have a working ssh session from 2 days ago with what i'm trying to comb through settings and trying to resolve the issue. It also has 2 NIC's and I cannot connect to the either ruling out hardware problem. I checked if there is a limit of the number of active connections and the was no limit. I was able to connect mitiple session till 2 days ago (at one point i had on my machine 8 active ssh sessions to the same server).

Here is the output of ssh -vvv:
Code: $ ssh -vvv -l user1 10.100.xxxxx
OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-4ubuntu4, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010

General :: Ssh Connection Forces Password Change Then Closes Connection - WARNING: Your Password Has Expired

Feb 16, 2011

On my linux machine, I've enforced a password expiry policy every 45 days. So, today when I tried to ssh to the host, I get the typical "WARNING: Your password has expired". Fine, no big deal. But when I enter my new password and confirm, instead of giving me a login prompt, it tells me passwd all auth tokens updated successfully, then next line, "Connection to <host> closed". I can re-ssh back into that host and all is well from here, but it's a nuisance having to go through the extra step. Is this something in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config somewhere or perhaps a PAM config issue?

Ubuntu :: Authentication (password) Window Shakes And Won't Let Me Enter A Password?

Apr 28, 2010

I have a rather difficult problem. Every time I need root privileges and I am asked to authenticate (i.e. Update Manager, mounting a partition, etc), the password window comes up, shakes and immediately closes, leaving me with no chance to enter a password. What to do?edit: this is NOT the login window, just the little dialog that pops up when you need elevated privileges.

Ubuntu :: Svn: Network Connection Closed Unexpectedly

Jul 20, 2011

As the title implies, I'm having an issue with svn, whenever I try to make an svn action, I get: svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly

I've done some Google-fu on this, and the obvious culprits don't seem to be at work. Specifically, the svn server does not use a nonstandard port, and I'm not using Tortoise SVN or putty, just going directly from the command line. Additionally, I was able to use the server as recently as this morning and no coworkers are having problems.

Server :: Connection Sharing Feature - Shared Connection To Server Closed

May 20, 2010

I'm a frequent user of the shared connection feature of SSH. Usually i have two or three connections open at the same time through the connection sharing feature, but sometimes when i try to start another i get the message "Shared connection to <server< closed". All the connection that are established through the connection sharing feature are still active and not closed, but when i try to create a new one i get that message.. i've even got that message when i have only had two connections through the shared connection feature.

I've tried to search google but it doesnt seem like anyone else has had the same kind of problem, does someone know why i sometimes get this error ?

Ubuntu :: Keeping X11 Applications Alive After SSH Connection Is Lost Or Closed?

Jul 20, 2011

I'm forwarding an application (HandBrakegui) over an ssh tunnel using X11 forwarding as follows

ssh -C -p PORTNUM user@host -X ghb

This all works fine and X11 loads and handbrake's X11 output to my local mac.The server is Ubuntu 10.4 and the client is Mac OS X.Is it possible for the X11 HandBrake Gui session to be kept alive once the SSH tunnel or the X11 window on the client (mac) has been closed? As I'm adding files to HandBrakes queue I want the programme to finish encoding them even if I turn off the client computer as the server is always on.

Debian Configuration :: Connection Closed By Server With Exitcode 141

Sep 4, 2011

setting up an SFTP server on debian, all the way down through step 3, though I did not "Match Group" I did Match User as I only need 1 user to have access to the SFTP server(did not continue on to step 4 and beyond as they did not apply to me) Im getting the error:

connection closed by server with exitcode 141

I get this when trying to log in via filezilla. I actually only got the 141 error on the first attempt, any attempts after that just says "could not connect to server". Username and password authentication goes through, so it is not a login info issue.Im running Debian squeeze, and that guide was for Lenny, that shouldnt matter, I dont think.

Fedora Networking :: F13 - SSHD Disconnected (Connection Closed)

Aug 8, 2010

I have installed Fedora 13 and updated it. I simply cant use ssh to connect to this Fedora, not even locally. I have enabled port22 in firewall settings and nothing. Tried to disable firewall completely and nothing. I have disabled SELinux (not sure if it has something to do with this, but... ) and nothing. Entered "ALL: ALL" in /etc/hosts.allow and still nothing. Dont know what to do anymore.

Here is what happens when I try to ssh to this machine, even from it:
[flibio@surf ~]$ ssh localhost
warning: Need basic cursor movement capability, using vt100
flibio's password:
Authentication successful.
Disconnected; connection lost (Connection closed.).
Connection to localhost closed.
[flibio@surf ~]$

Looking into Services > sshd and it says "This service is dead."
So I tried:
[root@surf etc]# service sshd restart
Stopping sshd: [FAILED]
Starting sshd: : OpenSSH_5.4p1 on
: FATAL: Creating listener failed: port 22 probably already in use! .....

And still I get disconnected whenever I try to ssh to this machine from anywhere. Services says that sshd is allways dead, even restarting it but I can only restart it by doing a pkill sshd before.

General :: SSH: Server Unexpected Closed Network Connection

Jul 4, 2011

In my case, it occurs intermittently when trying to connect using putty's command line client 'plink.exe' to a linux machine using ssh. For some testing purposes, a linux server is setup with 8K virtual ip addresses and the testing scripts will connect to these ip addresses through ssh using plink.exe. There will be concurrently 25 ssh sessions launched to the server. While it works for sometimes, it throws 'server unexpectedly closed network connection' error intermittently. If the same ip address is tried again manually, it works. While the ssh server is accepting connections, this error is thrown sometimes and unable to find out the reason from the logs. It is not that the ssh connection is completely blocked. It gives this error message while connecting to some of the virtual ip addresses but works some times.

The hosts.deny, sshd_config are tuned to allow the connections, allow more sessions etc.

CentOS 5 :: Ssh_exchange_identification: Connection Closed By Remote Host?

Feb 3, 2011

I am having trouble connecting to one of the VM's through ssh from base machine all of a sudden. All I get is an error : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

--IP/Hostname crossed out --
[root@XX-XX02 ~]# ssh -v 1XX.1X.5X.1XX
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008[code].....

Saying that the problem is only with ssh would be wrong as I can't seem to telnet or ftp it either. But I can ping it fine.When I try to login to that VM through console, it won't even let me login. The screen would flash for a sec and the same login prompt would reappear. I am not sure what exactly happened as it was working fine before.

OS version: CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
uname -a: Linux XX.XX 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 29 12:50:31 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Software :: Red5 - Connection Failed Or Closed Error Message

Apr 29, 2010

Firstly I am new to red5 and not very strong when it comes to linux. I have had installed red5 on my dedicated server and going by the http://myIP:5080/installer demos it is all working fine. My problem is I cannot get it to work with my software being flashchat. I am not sure if it comes from me using the incorrect RTMP url and if so after trying about 20 or more ways of typing it in I always get the same error message "Connection Failed' or "Connection Closed" not to sure what is meant by Closed as to whether it's working but can't get in or what ever. I am after someone who can get this to work for me please and I am willing to pay for that service once it is working.

Security :: Hosts.Allow Vs. SSH / Sending Message Connection Closed By Remote Host?

May 29, 2010

I have set up SSH and redirected the ssh server to listen on another port other than 22 for a bit of added security.

Now in hosts.deny I have:

ALL : ALL

In hosts.allow I have:

SSH : ip_address_of_client

I can no longer connect. I get the message: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.

When I change hosts.allow to read:

ALL : ip_address_of_client

I can successfully connect the server.

However, I only want to allow SSH access in hosts.allow. What is the correct syntax?

I have tried and failed with each one of these:

SSH : ip_address:port_number
SSH2 : ipaddress
sshfwd-portnumber : ip_address_of_client

CentOS 5 Server :: Rssh Error Connection Closed - Restrict The Users To Scp And Sftp

Ubuntu :: Ssh Authentication: Key & Password Mix?

Jul 25, 2011

I am running a small ubuntu-server headless machine at home. It is configured with sshd so that I can connect from anywhere (if I have Internet access.)However, there is a thing: I'd like to have good security and disable password authentication, but I also want to be able to connect from a PC that I've never touched before. And no, I'm not prepared to type a 256 bytes password every time I type "sudo ..."

Here is what I thought: I could have a login (pieroxy) that has a moderately strong password and another user (pieroxy-ext) that has a very strong password (100+ chars.) I would use my regular account (pieroxy) whenever I have a key-based authentication and the other one (pieroxy-ext) whenever I have a password-based authentication to do. Then, I'll just su to "pieroxy" and I'm done typing the 100 chars pwd. In order to do that, I would need to be able to configure my machine so that password-based authentication is disabled for all accounts but enabled for my account that has a strong password (pieroxy-ext). Is it possible to disable password-based authentication on a user basis?

Ubuntu :: Try To Use Su - Get Password Authentication Failure

May 3, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 which I like very much (except for Unity - so I am using Ubuntu Classic).

Whenever I try to use "su - " I get Password Authentication Failure. I have checked Caps Lock (obviously) and have also tried resetting the password using "passwd" - but with no success.

If I use "sudo ...." with a command the password is accepted.

I have the same software installed on two computers but the problem only occurs on one - the other is OK!

Ubuntu :: Authentication Password Rejected On VNC'd Desktop / What To Do?

Feb 8, 2011

I've been using the Ubuntu desktop for a couple of years now, but I don't have much experience using the terminal.

I've just set up a home server using Ubuntu-server 64bit which will be headless and its main function will be a Mythtv backend.

I've worked out how to use VNC to send a desktop from the server to my laptop, but when I try to use any programs which require root privileges such as synaptic or the user/groups manager, the pop-up asking for authentication refuses to accept my password.

Is there a setting I need to change on the server which prevents remote users from getting root privileges on the desktop?

Ubuntu :: Authentication Dialog Hang After Password Input?

Oct 13, 2010

I have a Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my HP Mini 210, and is having a problemth authentication dialogs when applications requests for elevated permissions. As far as I concern, there are two types of them, one is the kind when you run anything with gksu where the background dims and a dialog pops up. Another type is when you try toinstall software through Synaptic and a dialog box requests for your password. I am having problems with the later one.

Whenever the authentication dialog box pops up, after typing my password and presses enter, or the Authenticate button, the password field disappears while leaving the authentication dialog on the screen. The Authenticate and Cancel buttons are still clickable, but they are not bringing any actions by clicking them. I would have to let the application to continue with elevated permissions by manually closing the dialog. There are very very rareoccasions where the dialog disappears after I click on authenticate, which I can say is 1 in every 100 times
