Dear All,

I have server with SunOS 5.10 Generic_127111-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120, always coming out error message like this :

May 25 10:37:26 sshd[12004]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

So what happend with my server..???

Best Regards

From this I'd guess one of two possibilities:

  1. One of the clients connecting to your server doesn't properly end it's connection. Ask around if someone is having problems with their access or a PC crashing.
  2. If it's a public accessible server, someone might be portscanning you, sending SYN or RST packets. Check if there are any excessive failed authentication attempts.

Thanks for your information
