SSH Problem

[sanctifi3d]

Hi I'm having a problem I just restored my phone and only installed openssh,sbsettings, and some apt 0.7 update. I restored because of this ssh problem.. and it's back again

my problem is after installng openssh I can use ssh for about <10 mins then it disconnects.. After that I can't connect anymore it gives me this error:

ssh_exchange_identification: connection closed by remote host

it only works again after I reinstall openssh and openssl, but always disconnect after <10mins then back with the problem again.. I tried restoring a few times only installing sb settings and openssh(w/ openssl) then the other "essential upgrades" I already tried to remove known_hosts,check allow.hosts and deny.hosts, restores,etc I tried a whole lot of things with help from other people too I just cant make it work please help me I'm out of ideas/options

I have an Iphone 3g 3.1.2

Set the automatic lock to "Never" and you should be fine.

I found a temporary solution... Downgrade to 3.1 it works for me atm I'll report if it fails. try it

 

[sanctifi3d]

awww it's back again . something is REALLY messed up

 

[sanctifi3d]

serious issue still no fix.. I hope someone can figure out what's wrong with this.

i use a temporary fix though.. it'll buy you a few mins with ssh then disconnect

make a new file called "ssh.sh"
put this inside

rm ~/.ssh
rm -rf /etc/ssh
apt-get install --reinstall openssh
apt-get install --reinstall openssl

then transfer that to /var/mobile(using diskaid or total commander or iphonebrowser)

open mobileterminal on your iphone(download in cydia if you don't have it)
run the following commands
> su [enter]
> alpine [enter] (or if you set another password use that)
> chmod 0755 ssh.sh [enter]
> ./ssh.sh [enter]
> respring [enter]

what it does is it deletes ssh folders(including those keys) and reinstall openssh and openssl.

only works for a few mins though then you'll get disconnected again.

This is the best solution so far, it works, but just for a bit as sanctifi3d said.
There's any nix masters to give us a little hand here?

antoniomax still got that problem? I got mine fixed by following this...

I followed both then just restart and reinstall openssh and openssl
