I'm wondering if there's something generally broken with MaxStartups in trixie, beyond this; I upgraded from bookworm, and since then I've had generally very spotty MaxStartups behavior. I never needed to change MaxStartups before, but now, my backup and Nagios runs keep failing all the time, with things like: Jul 23 04:36:07 pannekake.samfundet.no sshd[10555]: drop connection #1 from [2a02:20c8:2640::b2ff:97a7]:39984 on [2001:67c:29f4::50]:22 Maxstartups or Jul 23 06:16:07 pannekake.samfundet.no sshd[10555]: drop connection #0 from [2a02:20c8:2640::b2ff:97a7]:54792 on [2001:67c:29f4::50]:22 Maxstartups Notably, this happened before I set MaxStartupsPerSource, and it happens even if I set it to a value such as 3 or 10. But interestingly, I never get a line like “Beginning MaxStartups throttling”. The last instance I got of that was before my trixie upgrade (and now it's with non-capital s for whatever reason). I have also tried increasing MaxStartups 10:30:100 to 30:30:100. This is not the new penalty behavior, as I've turned that off for the Nagios host and it still fires. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: https://www.sesse.net/
