ssh & Brocade

[Breslau]

anyone seen this happen with a brocade switch:

ssh -l admin myswitch
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

in more detail:

ssh -v -l admin myswitch
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
debug1: Reading configuration data /usr/local/etc/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to myswitch [192.168.0.1] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/userid/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /home/userid/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /home/userid/.ssh/id_dsa type 2
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

this switch is at an OS level that supports ssh connections. any ideas on how to get ssh functioning?

FYI: brocade has identified this as a bug in the OS. the ssh daemon was not exiting properly and was thusly accumalating a lot processes. the temp solution is to kill the daemon and restart it, long term is to upgrade the OS.
