I just did a clean install of OpenSuSE 11.0 and performed all the available updates as well. After rebooting when I try to SSH into my SuSE workstation I get:
PuTTY Fatal Error
Server unexpectedly closed network connection
I don’t see anything relevant in /var/log/messages. I’ve tried rebooting and restarting the SSHD service. Any ideas?
I have tried SSH from multiple workstations; all with the same error. There are no firewalls between anything I am trying to SSH from and my SuSE box and the firewall is disabled on SuSE. I was able to SSH in before all the updates and subsequent reboot.
I am trying to build a Maia Mailguard anti-spam gateway for my email system and one of the installation steps is to install OpenSSL-devel from the SLES 10.2 DVD. When I performed that step I got the following message:
There’s no firewall between the workstations and my SuSE box. They are all literally plugged into the same switch on the same local LAN. I can ping, use webmin, port 80, etc. Just SSH doesn’t work.
The firewall on the SuSE box is disabled since it is not exposed to the outside internet.
I faced the same issue. It happens because of mismatch between openssl and libopenssl packages.
It will get resolved by making sure that we have proper libopenssl rpm which matches installed openssl rpm.
In my case I had to downgrade libopenssl rpm to match openssl rpm.
It should be something like this:
