SSH: message authentication code incorrect

When trying to access media (such as videos/movies) through my sshfs mount, after a random period of time I am presented with the following error

ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 192.168.1.23 port 22: message authentication code incorrect
remote host has disconnected

sent:               6557 messages, 205281 bytes
received:           6554 messages, 196680118 bytes
rtt min/max/avg:    0ms/81ms/4ms
num connect:        1

And after googling aroudn, I am unsure how to proceed. Most of the answers I found tell me it is either a a bug in my ssh https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … ect#288055

Or a problem with the hardware.

Here is the output of dmesg on the client side: https://ptpb.pw/7BWJ

And the output of dmesg on the server sided: https://ptpb.pw/VCL0

It may be worth noting that I am able to access/stream the media through an sshfs mount on my windows machine without any disconnects

Thank you in advance!

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

Did you see the impressive amount of link status changes on the server?
How's the network there configured? Any power saving mechanisms that might stop the link?
Check your server journal, eg. whether NM or so "detects" a carrier loss and sets the link down or what else might cause this.

I was attempting a new personal record cool

As far as the network settings, it's sitting behind my home network with the routers default settings. Here is the config file for the profile enp2s0

Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp2s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.1.23/24' '192.168.1.87/24')
#Routes=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
Gateway='192.168.1.1'
DNS=('192.168.1.1')

## For IPv6 autoconfiguration
#IP6=stateless

## For IPv6 static address configuration
#IP6=static
#Address6=('1234:5678:9abc:def::1/64' '1234:3456::123/96')
#Routes6=('abcd::1234')
#Gateway6='1234:0:123::abcd'

The journal just tells me that it's accepted my public key and that it recived a disconnect from the user (though looking at the times, I think this is me actually disconnecting)

Aug 10 12:40:53 LenovoNFS sshd[14697]: Accepted publickey for justin from 192.168.1.120 port 59762 ssh2: RSA SHA256:tnw/DPlyjgCUMkJ99brfl6ghGXDYOQwdhN1sjl6WdlI

and the full contents of the journal: https://ptpb.pw/cHla

I had powerdevil installed (with kde) for awhile but it should be gone (as I got rid of kde and powerdevil) and I haven't installed any other so I hope there isn't any power saving settings to stop the link..

All link status changes in the journal are caused by carrier changes - cable? (broken, badly seated - check both ends)
Probably unrelated, but see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6#dhcpcd_2

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

The cable is well seated, though I don't currently have acces to a separate cable atm but I will certainly have to look into that route as it is a fairly old cable!

Altering the dhcpcd.conf didn't resolve the error.

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

Ok I found a different cable (likely just as old) same problems arise, so I went out to the store and bough a new one, and I am still getting the same problem. Most recent journal output: https://ptpb.pw/gxWJ

I'm wondering if it could be a problem with the laptop connection point?

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

The switch might be resetting wildly.
You should check whether the client also looses the carrier at about the same times the server does.

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

Here are the two most recent journals

Client: https://ptpb.pw/REdv
Server: https://ptpb.pw/ZDxQ

I am not seeing a loss of the carrier at around the same time the server does

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

Why are there error messages from a netctl service (falsely) covering wlan0 while dhcpcd still covers wlp1s0?

I for some reason thought netctl wouldn't handle wired connections (and I have no idea why) and when I realized it could I forgot to disable dhcpcd. However upon disabling and stopping dhcpcd, and rebooting the computer I am still experiencing the drop in connection from the server

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

Notice that you posted journals dating bacl to may. The client one is a 43MB text file…

The only thing that remotely indicates a problem is the re-connect cycle after the client apparently woke up from S3,

Aug 12 20:17:10 LenovoNFS sshd[789]: Accepted publickey for justin from 192.168.1.120 port 59882 ssh2: RSA SHA256:tnw/DPlyjgCUMkJ99brfl6ghGXDYOQwdhN1sjl6WdlI
Aug 12 20:18:39 LenovoNFS sshd[791]: Received disconnect from 192.168.1.120 port 59882:11: disconnected by user

but the client log ends before at Aug 12 20:15:56 …

Since there's dhcpcd and netctl entries in the client, does https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1802086 maybe apply there as well?

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

The client doesn't have dhcpcd enabled so this shouldn't be the case sad

$ systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
UNIT FILE                   STATE  
autovt@.service             enabled

remote-fs.target            enabled
backupTimer.timer           enabled
updatePackageCount.timer    enabled

10 unit files listed.

I don't know if it's worth noting or not, but when I mount using

$ mount -t nfs 192.168.1.23:/home/justin LenovoMount

I do not recieve any disconnects (unless I leave the home network...)

Also a separate server running on a different network mounted with sshfs I have the exact same errors (That server is running ubuntu, though I am not asking to debug that one I just wanted to see if a different machine would yield similar errors attempting to narrow down if it the server or the client)

Re: SSH: message authentication code incorrect

Pass "-o debug,sshfs_debug" to sshfs for more details.
Just to be sure: this happens randomly after the mount worked for some time. It's not that at some point you fail to connect at all?
