I've just started using knockd, and that seems to work well. However, the
knock client fails consistently. I've gotten it to work by luck alone, it
seems.
When using knock, the system running knockd will emit log messages saying
that it sees stage 1, and sometimes stage 2, rarely stage 3, but only very
rarely will it see an entire sequence. This is true using both tcp and udp.
I don't believe this is an issue with the server, though, as I can substiture
netcat on the client end and have it work each and every time, without
deviation.
In testing just now, after seeing success, knock is consistently working,
after seeing stage one, then stage one, two, and three - it took several
tries to get it right.
I've run knock with the verbose flag, but I've not logged it with tcpdump. If
the maintainer is unable to reproduce this, I can try to gather more
information. I'm using three different knockd servers on three different
systems, on three different networks, so the failure seems not to be local to
me, anyway.
