Trying to connect from Fedora 21 to CentOS 6.6, OpenSSH on both ends. Connection is via a VPN. Initially the connection seems good, but OpenSSH stalls at debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP. Software version on servers: openssh-server-5.3p1-104.el6_6.1.x86_64 openssh-5.3p1-104.el6_6.1.x86_64 Software version on client: openssh-6.6.1p1-11.1.fc21.x86_64 also duplicated problem using local build of openssh-6.7p1.tar.gz Connections to other CentOS 6 servers with identical SSH versions and configurations are successful. (Configs are managed by Puppet so I'm confident they really are identical, and I rebooted the server before the test below.) Connections to the problem server using Windows PuTTY SSH are successful! (Using a Windows VM running on the same Fedora 21 client machine, inside VirtualBox.) VPN MTU is 1400. Ping check for packet size: % ping -M do -s 1372 10.77.16.71 PING 10.77.16.71 (10.77.16.71) 1372(1400) bytes of data. 1380 bytes from 10.77.16.71: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=69.4 ms Server MTU is 1500, and I've confirmed that 1472-byte packets ping successfully from other servers to the problem server.
