Description Andrew Clement CLA 2012-08-27 14:11:53 EDT
On git push I am getting timeouts:

git push
ssh: connect to host git.eclipse.org port 22: Operation timed out
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

According to whatsmyip.org I am: 67.131.255.210

I initially believed this was like the other users reporting similar issues: that something must have happened to block my IP.  However, it seems to sometimes work - over about 20 tries this morning, one of them successfully pushed (to the aspectj repo).  Can you check if my IP address is ok? thanks!  If it isn't my IP, any ideas what else I could check?

I'm seeing a ton of Failed Password connection attempts from a totally different IP address, all for yesterday.

Would you like a password reset?
Comment 2 Andrew Clement CLA 2012-08-28 12:15:57 EDT
From my point of view yesterday it was just showing timeouts, it didn't prompt me for a password.

This morning I am at a different location (at home rather than the office), typed 'git push', it asked for my password and worked first time.  So, I don't think I need a password reset.  I can also ssh to build.eclipse.org from here which I couldn't from the office yesterday.

I then signed onto the company VPN from home.  Now I can't ssh to build.eclipse.org and git push times out, as before.

I just tried changing my eclipse.org password to see if that makes any difference, but it does not.

Perhaps I need to reset all my public/private key 'stuff'.  I guess I'll try that next unless maybe you have any other suggestions?

Not sure what this will be, I was only at my desk yesterday, and I don't have a build process running anywhere that uses my credentials.
Comment 3 Andrew Clement CLA 2012-08-28 12:20:59 EDT
I just saw an email from the ssh auth bot (I think as I was trying to ssh from home into build.eclipse.org).  I replied to that to confirm things were ok, and now (although maybe unrelated...) everything is working.  I can push/pull whether on my regular network or the vpn...  did you do anything?

I won't be able to try it from the office again until later this week but maybe we can close this for now and I'll reopen if I still have issues when I'm back there.
Comment 4 Denis Roy CLA 2012-08-28 13:04:03 EDT
I haven't changed a thing... I'll close this SELF_FIXED; please reopen if you find youself locked out again.
Comment 5 Andrew Eisenberg CLA 2012-08-28 13:25:29 EDT
I am reopening this bug because I am having the same problem as Andy was.  We are behind the same firewall and I am getting the same timeout errors from my machine.

I do:

$ ssh aeisenberg@build.eclipse.org
ssh: connect to host build.eclipse.org port 22: Operation timed out

whatsmyip.org says: 72.52.96.29

I just reset my password at portal.eclipse.org, but this has had no effect.  I have not seen any messages from the ssh auth bot.

Are you sure outbound SSH is permitted from that location?  Would there perhaps be a proxy server used? Nothing on my end is preventing access.

FWIW that IP is different from the one in comment 0.  I'm not sure if you're at the same location, though.
Comment 7 Andrew Eisenberg CLA 2012-08-28 13:39:26 EDT
Well, we are in the same office (not today, but usually).  Something may have changed on my end, but this used to work (as of a few weeks ago).

I'll go see if there's a proxy issue on my end.
Comment 8 Andrew Eisenberg CLA 2012-08-28 13:53:44 EDT
This is strange, annoying, and a little disconcerting.

I disconnected from the vpn and tried again.  Initially, I was still not able to log in, but then after about 10 minutes or so ssh build.eclipse.org suddenly started working.  I think logged back in to vpn and it was STILL working.

Marking this as resolved.  I don't understand, but this is exactly the same behavior that Andy had earlier.
