I have now noticed that this only occurs if you run trafshow/or/tcpdump on
the machine you are connected to, if you run trafshow on the server end the
connection it goes crazy, if you run it only on the client end it is fine.
Looks like there is a problem in the interaction between the ssh2 protocol
in Openssh and the bpf0 device. Any ideas?

Subject: Openssh


I have noticed something odd with the version of openssh on the stable
version of freebsd(Version OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20010713, SSH
protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090601f).

When using ssh1 not prob all good, but when I use ssh2(ie ssh -2 hostname)
and then run trafshow or tcpdump I noticed a crazy amount of traffic
generated, ie a constant flow of 40-50K per sec or more just by the ssh
session, yet under ssh1 it only gen's about 1-3K per sec.

I tried this on an older version of ssh and this does not re-occur.  Can
someone else try this and tell me what you get....ie

ssh from any box to a FreeBSD4.4 stable box using ssh -2 hostname.  Then do
a 'trafshow port 22' and see what your bytes/sec is after a 1min run or so.

>From what I can tell it is a problem with sshd not the client.

Thanks.
