Explanation: The error occurs when you use the SSH adapter to execute a large number of concurrent SSH requests using spawn activity.

User Response: To fix the problem, perform the following steps:

  1. Increase the maximum number of concurrent connections to the SSH server by changing the value for the "MaxStartups" key in the SSH daemon configuration file: etc/ssh/sshd_config.
  2. Restart the SSH server either by using the /etc/init.d/sshd restart command or by stopping and starting the sshd service from the Services console.

Note
