 +===== SSH Errors ===== 
 +:?: **Question:**\\ 
 +Should I be concerned about ssh errors in my log files? 
 + 
 +:!: **Answer**\\ 
 +A number of ssh errors are generated mainly due to clients disconnecting or not actually using a valid ssh client, such as port scanners or bots. Some of these errors are 
 + 
 +  'Internal consistency check failed' (-16) setting session active 
 +   
 +  'ENOTCONN: Socket is not connected' (-42) setting session active 
 +   
 +  'Error reading client's SSH identifier string: ETIMEDOUT: Function timed out before completion' (-41) setting session active 
 +   
 +  No data was read because the remote system closed the connection (recv() == 0)' (-41) setting session active 
 +   
 +  'Need resource to proceed' (-50) setting session active 
 +  
  
-These files (''cryptlib.key'' and ''ssl.cert'') are encrypted with the Synchronet //system password//, so if the system password is changed then these files must also be regenerated. The files are automatically recreated by //sbbs// upon startup if they do not already exist.
