Here's the background: My laptop has a script that starts an SSH tunnel to one of my other machines at boot. It uses the SSH2 protocol to connect so the process can be sent to the background without having to run an additional command on the remote end. On Saturday, I built world on the laptop, and started seeing the following message on the server end whenever I'd send a message over the tunnel (localhost's port 9595 is forwarded to remote's port 25): Mar 19 14:17:41 snarf sshd[341]: error: socket: Protocol not supported Mar 19 14:17:41 snarf /kernel: Mar 19 14:17:41 snarf sshd[341]: error: socket: Protocol not supported I thought maybe it was due to the fact that the remote end was a week or two older than the laptop. So I built world today on the remote side, and it's still happening. I don't recall this happening beforehand (I've been using the tunnel for about 2 weeks now), so I really have no clues where to even start looking. Both versions of ssh are OpenSSH 2.3.0. Any ideas? On a related note, I've been getting these recently too, but can't find any mention of the file in any ssh(d)-related man pages: Mar 19 14:12:55 snarf sshd[341]: WARNING: /etc/ssh/primes does not exist, using old prime Mar 19 14:12:55 snarf sshd[341]: Accepted publickey for relay from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd port 1559 ssh2 Mar 19 14:13:07 snarf sshd[342]: Accepted password for jim from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd port 1560 Anyone familiar with this? How can I generate the primes file, or how can I shut it up?
