  • SSH Mystic 1.12 A45 - ssh IPv6 issue logging in

    From Martin List-Petersen@2:263/5 to All on Mon Apr 13 01:19:50 2020
    Hi,

    First of all, greeting. I'm a reboot. I used to run a RA/FD based BBS in Denmark in the 90s and had long plans, to bring it back to life. As I've been using Linux for over 2 decades now, Mystic looked like a good choice. I loved RA, but I didn't want to go back to DOS.

    Either way, long story short, it seems there is a problem with SSH and IPv6, when it comes to Mystic.

    I'm running Mystic 1.12 A45, cryptlib3431. Cryptlib 345 was crashing Mystic
    on startup, so I discarded that.

    What is happening is, that if I log in using IPv4, the password gets
    recognized correctly.

    If I log in using IPv6, Mystic does not recognize the password and eventually blacklists me.

    Has anyone seen this behavior or can replicate it ?

    -M

    Hello Martin!

    there is a mention on the mystic wiki

    There seems to be an issue with the latest CryptLib with 32-bit Linux operating
    systems that will cause Mystic to crash upon startup. If you experience this problem it may be worth trying an older version that can be downloaded from the
    Mystic website:

    did cryptlib compile ok?
    syncterm also uses cryptlib
