  • Constant disconnects

    From Lesser Keys@DIGDIST/BATTLEST/FREEWAY to All on Sun Mar 1 08:44:00 2015
    I am getting error criptlib session terminated -41
    Everytime I use ssh, I get terminated within a few minutes. It get's very annoying. Has anyone found a fix for this?

    ... Not tonight honey, ...I feel a modem coming on.

    What SSH program are you using (Linux ssh client or other)? And what type of server are you connecting to? Linux host? BBS?

    I used to see that using SyncTerm with Synchronet. I asked about it on Dove-Net once and got a response (from Deuce, I think) saying that the cryptlib error is usually due to the clinet telnet app (SyncTerm in my case) using a different version of cryptlib than what's being used on the version of Synchronet you're connecting to. I think the SyncTerm I was using at the time was outdated, and the solution was to update SyncTerm to a newer version.

    I also used to see SSH disconnect after a few minutes. I usually update the Synchronet binaries on my BBS every so often, and after a while I noticed that the SSH disconnect issue had gone away.. so maybe it was fixed at some point (perhaps inadvertantly).

    I am connecting to my bbs with SyncTerm. It's running on windows. it gets to be pretty annoying when I am trying to type a message! :P

    ... Common sense is instinct. Enough of it is genius.

    I get that, also, constantly. Though it doesn't seem to disconnect me from local, I know that some of my remote SSH users have had issues with disconnections that may stem from the same events as well. As far as I've heard it's a client-configuration (missing TCP-keepalive maybe?), but I haven't been able to conclusively figure anything out yet due to the fact that I don't know how exactly my remote users are connecting nor what their exact SSH settings are..
    I'd still love to hear more about this from anybody that might know more on the issue.

    I can't connect locally, my server is a distance a way. I have to remote in to do any work. I use ssh to connect, and I get dropped constantly.
    :)

    I am going to do an overhaul on my system from the cvs. I'll let you know how it worked for me.

    ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

    Try running ssh with -o ServerAliveInterval

    It's probably something like `ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=45` or `ssh -o ServerAliveInterval 45` or something like that. Assuming you're using command line SSH. Otherwise you need to dig through the internals of your GUI version of SSH and find where it can send a keepalive option.
