[Twisted-Python] SSH client bad packet length

[Anders Bruun Olsen]

Hi,

I am trying to learn a bit of Twisted in order to make an app that will
use SSH for running commands on remote hosts. I have followed the SSH
howto on the homepage where I have changed it to accept any fingerprint
and have put my own private and public keys in instead of the ones from
the example and have it connecting to a server of mine that accepts
passwordless key-auth. Lastly I have enabled logging to stdout (it might
be an idea to add to the howto which module to import to get the log
object!).

When it connects this is the output I get:

drzero at ernest pyssh-stuff $ ./sshsimpleclient.py
2003/10/06 22:31 CEST [-] Log opened.

Note that the packet length changes..

Is it a problem in my code (which is basically the howto code) or a
problem with my server (Gentoo w/ OpenSSH 3.7.1p2) or something else?
