It turned out that "Bad packet size" did not really went away. For example I've recently hit the following: [14586] Aug 04 19:12:43 Pubkey auth succeeded for 'slapuser16' with key md5 b1:35:06:d3:a5:b1:0b:c6:7f:e6:59:31:ab:3a:e1:56 from 2001:67c:1254:c0::1:49886 [14586] Aug 04 19:12:55 Exit (slapuser16): Integrity error (bad packet size 524500) in .slappartX_runner_sshd.log of my upgraded webrunner with connection being broken. ( nexedi/slapos!68 (comment 17748) ) We could maybe try to play games with increasing RECV_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN to be more than DEFAULT_RECV_WINDOW but this already turned out to be error-prone. Since when really needed we should be able to replace dropbear with openssh nexedi/slapos!68 (comment 7082) which is both performant and good-compatible, to me the way is: - make current dropbear run stable again, - when we really need to sync large amounts of data (and we should be needing to do soon or already) -> work on replacing dropbear with openssh.
