SSH protocol test issue

[rwky]

The SSH protocol test generates the following error in the ssh auth log on Ubuntu 14.04

sshd[29380]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [preauth]

This is possibly due to Ubuntu 14.04 using SSH 1.6.6 previously I've only monitored 12.04 which uses 5.9

We have modified the tests to do TCP shutdown for the socket ... FIN packet is now sent on close instead of previous RST. The sshd 6.6 still logs a message when Monit performs the test, but this time it's only informational (not warning):

sshd[4649]: Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 [preauth]

Problem will be fixed in the next Monit release.

If you want to test, you can get the development version here:

https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/get/master.tar.gz

To compile:

./bootstrap
./configure
make

Removing version: 5.8 (automated comment)
