Re: 7.0 issues fixed? upgrade timing?



Hi all,

I only just now subscribed, so my apologies if this has been covered
and my cursory search missed it.

I am seeing a similar issue to the one described in the email below
(pasted from a web listing of this list).

That is, my ssh connection will occasionally be dropped with the
message
Disconnecting: Bad packet length 3190815048.
(the number is not always the same).

I can reliably reproduce this with `cat < /dev/urandom | od -c`
from a FreeBSD-current box (a few weeks old, actually, since
the build was broken when I last tried to update) as well
as from a mac running OS X 10.4 .

The system that is killing my connections is:
FreeBSD periphrasis.mit.edu 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #3: Tue Mar
25 14:53:51 EDT 2008
kaduk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PERIPHRASIS amd64


Any thoughts would be appreciated.

-Ben Kaduk

FWIW, I had major troubles with re(4) around 7.0-release, and a while
later (I had to use patches). After upgrading to 7-stable on

(sigh).. it seems that I spoke to soon. Murphy just showed up. I still
get ssh disconnects (see below) on connections _to_ the machine when
transferring largish amounts of data (like when upgrading a port).
Here is one example (portupgrading the jdk port):
/usr/bin/gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -W -Wall -Wno-unused
-Wno-parentheses -pipe -Damd64 -DARCH='"amd64"'
-DRELEASE='"1.6.0_03-p4"'

../../../src/share/native/sun/management/ClassLoadingImpl.c
Disconnecting: Bad packet length 3601161525.

The machine is running:
tingo@kg-vm$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-vm.kg4.no 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #10: Sat Apr 12
21:42:55 CEST 2008 root@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
amd64

and has been up for about 14 days:
tingo@kg-vm$ uptime
1:36PM up 14 days, 17:42, 7 users, load averages: 2.15, 1.85, 1.34

I see that if_re.c for RELENG_7 has been updated on April 22nd, so
I'll upgrade the machine to latest -stable and see if that works
better.


Is this machine using pf(4) at all?
