I am running a monitoring box on Solaris which gets stats from about 30
Solaris hosts every 5 minutes via ssh eg
ssh <host> vmstat 1 2, this is for the MRTG performance tool.

SSH works fine but occasionally I get the following errors coming up on the
console and in the log files etc.

channel_lookup: 0: bad id: channel free
client_input_channel_req: channel 0: unknown channel

I have configured the latest ssl and ssh versions, zlib, and using prngd
which has eliminated the entropy errors.

Could someone advise me what might be causing this problem, ie some hosts
are running older
versions of ssh so Im thinking if it could be the remote ones that may be
causing it.

Cheers

Chris
