Re: TLS errors

[Csaba Kiraly <kiraly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
As far as I can tell (I'm not a developer) the error message you see  is 
normal behavior, just logged in a way that scares people ;)
Of course it can also be something else, but you can find a possible 
explanation in my previous mail in the "no traffic?" thread:
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Nov-2007/msg00038.html

The cause is a housekeeping operation at the other side, which tears 
down your connection, but for some reason the TLS session is not closed 
nicely.
Messages in the two logs should be similar to the following (say "auth1" 
is your machine, "auth2" is the other node):

auth2   Nov 06 13:18:50.660 [info] run_connection_housekeeping(): 
Marking duplicate conn to 193.168.2.1:34066 obsolete (fd 16, 140 secs old).
auth2   Nov 06 13:18:50.660 [info] run_connection_housekeeping(): 
Expiring non-used OR connection to fd 16 (193.168.2.1:34066) [Obsolete].
auth1   Nov 06 13:18:50.661 [info] connection_read_to_buf(): tls error. 
breaking (nickname auth2, address 193.168.2.2).

This does not justify bandwidth problems, so you might have to look for 
some other reason as well ....
