    Hi,
    Is there a site that explains what the sshd messages in my auth.log
    mean? I increased the logging to DEBUG but I don't know if what I am
    reading in /var/log/auth.log is normal or explains my problem. Sshd is
    running on a Linux 2.4.18-evms Debian server.
    sshd version is: sshd version OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 Debian 1:3.6.1p2-10

    { My problem is that Win 2000 server is connecting via ssh/rsync but
    stops transferring files without any dialog as to why. Other ssh
    connections with and without rsync will stay open for much longer--at
    least 8 hours. This is a known problem to the rsync developers, but I
    guess they don't why. I did have this problem, one time with a Linux
    file server connecting to this Debian server and stopping after 3 or so
    hours a few months ago--but I don't have the logs for that incident
    anymore. :~( }
