Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: c2036ed6b5b8e76ebabda731ac2f369e Hi, I just noticed my /var/log/sshd.log is suddenly somehow big. After checking it out I have found a lot of messages like this: > 2011-02-21T03:49:21+00:00 obelix sshd[19767]: SSH: Server;Ltype: Version;Remote: my.ip.add.ress-56254;Protocol: 2.0;Client: OpenSSH_5.8p1-hpn13v10 This message was recorded on 2011-02-14T17:45:24+00:00 for the first time, and since then exactly every 2 minutes. I think it was the day when I updated to openssh-5.6-p1-r2. So first of all, what does the message mean? And next, how can I turn it off, or at least reduce its frequency?
