Hi,

We have HP UNIX 11.31 & we are getting below error in one of the host.

sshd[6344]: error: setsockopt SO_KEEPALIVE: Invalid argument

Kindly advise to find out the root cause.

1)peer had reset the connection, before the setsockopt,
typically vulnerability scanners
2)be sure to be uptodate with xport patch

Thanks Laurent.

1. Is it due to peer had reset the connection?

2. What is xport patch? you are asking about latest patch bundle? if yes, September 2010 patch bundle has been already installed.

3. How to avoid this error?

is it always or sometimes only?

I think I saw that with some old xport patch version, but not 100%sure.

If intermitent it may be due to QXCR1000984478 fixed in PHNE_41714


If it is always, it is not known, and you should contact hp support.
