Hi All... Help...Please try this out for me. I'm still having problems with ssh (2.9p1-1) hanging with ssh -f -L 5901:localhost:5900 hostname sleep 30 With ssh-2.5.2p2-3 it returns immediately and a "ps -e" about 30 seconds later shows that the ssh process is indeed gone. This is assuming that I do not connect to port 5901. So it works with 2.5.2p2-3. With ssh-2.9p1-1 it returns immediately and multiple "ps -e" later show that the ssh process hangs around indefinately. This is assuming that I do not connect to port 5901. I am also having problems with using the tunnel with 2.9p1-1. (I'm trying to address the hanging first, in the hope that the same problem is causing both symptoms.) In all of this, I am using two Win2000 boxes (Win2000Pro, sp1). The othe box is always running 2.5.2p2-3; I am only changing versions on my local machine. The version of sshd does not seem to matter, only the version of ssh. Thanks, ...Karl _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
