SSHD Log entries
I have a SunBlade 150 running Solaris 10, and I have the strangest problem: I keep getting SSHD log messages in /var/adm/messages:
Sep 17 14:09:46 sunshine sshd[1191]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
Sep 17 14:14:46 sunshine sshd[1374]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
Sep 17 14:19:46 sunshine sshd[1559]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
Sep 17 14:24:46 sunshine sshd[2488]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
Sep 17 14:29:46 sunshine sshd[2768]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
Sep 17 14:34:46 sunshine sshd[3601]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
The strange thing is that the processes mentioned are of course already terminated whenever I try to look at them, so they are very short-lived, not existing connections.
The log entries are exactly 5 minutes apart, which led me to believe it was caused by either a cron process or some weird thing in the sshd config, but none of these things are present.
External causes are also eliminated, for the messages persist even when I close down my firewall and all other machines (the log entries continue 24/7).
I tried adding keepalive messaging in my sshd config file, but again to no avail.
Anybody got any suggestions?
