Hi,

Thanks for the reply...

1) Nothing out of the ordinary in the logs.

Last bit of logging from the server before/after it happens :

debug3: tty_parse_modes: 93 0
debug1: server_input_channel_req: channel 0 request shell reply 0
debug1: session_by_channel: session 0 channel 0
debug1: session_input_channel_req: session 0 req shell
debug1: PAM: setting PAM_TTY to "/dev/ttyp4"
debug2: fd 5 setting TCP_NODELAY
debug2: channel 0: rfd 10 isatty
debug2: fd 10 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug2: fd 9 is O_NONBLOCK
debug1: Setting controlling tty using TIOCSCTTY.
debug3: mm_answer_pty: tty /dev/ttyp4 ptyfd 3
debug3: mm_request_receive entering
Read error from remote host 10.0.0.1: Connection reset by peer
debug1: do_cleanup
debug1: PAM: cleanup
debug3: PAM: sshpam_thread_cleanup entering
debug1: do_cleanup
debug1: PAM: cleanup
debug3: PAM: sshpam_thread_cleanup entering
debug1: session_pty_cleanup: session 0 release /dev/ttyp4

2) TCPDUMP available to anyone that wants it via email (21K)

The last "good" packet between the SSH server and client looked
pretty normal, has Flags of PSH and ACK.

The next packet comes from the router closest to the SSH server.
There is no sequence or acknowledgement number, but its claiming
to originate from the same port that the client originally was
using. The window size is 1/2 of what the client/server window
was. Its sending to the SSH server an ACK.

The next packet is from the SSH server to the router, there
is no sequence number, window size is 0, Flags are RST.

Next packet is from the SSH server to the client, marked
as a TCP retransmission, same sequence as the last "good"
packet, PSH,ACK

Last packet is from SSH client to server, with RST Flag
set.

So why is the router jumping into the middle of
the conversation and being a spoil sport?

Thanks, Tuc
