Hello

I've seen this problem adressed many times but never found a suitable
answer. Here is a brief description :
An ssh client tries to connect to a sshd server, and it works most of
the time. But sometimes, and it's fairly impossible to predict (and
obviously to reproduce), the connexion fails with a message that said :

ssh_exchange_identification: read: A connection with a remote socket
was reset by that socket.

In my configuration, i had constated that the problem is more likely to
occur when there are multiple concurrent connexions on the sshd. I had
done what i can to lessen this number, but now it comes again.

I have seen two options in the manual page : ClientAliveCountMax and
ClientAliveInterval. Could someone tell me if they may be related to
the problem, or not ? They are not present in the ssd_config file on my
server, so their default values (resp. 3 and 0) applies.

Unfortunately, i can't debug the problem as i would because the
environnement can't easily be changed.

Version of the software is OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
on AIX 5.3 (client and server are on the same type of soft/hardware).

Thanks for any or clue.
