its very odd, but every once in a while, the ssh connect that i make (with openssh running on both ends) doesn't break.
i will log out and the shell will already have exited, but the fork of /usr/sbin/sshd will not exit. on the client-side, the keyboard entries will be echoed to the screen, but will not affect the locked state of ssh. the only way i can exit is to kill the ssh process on the client-side. i've tried killing (as root) the sshd fork on the server-side. but this has the ill-effect of crashing sshd and ending all future ssh connections (the connection i used to kill the first fork is still active and will exit correctly). not mentioning the fact that the ssh connect still doesn't break on the client-side. since i'm using openssh on both ends, could this be a config issue? i'm pretty sure i replaced the config files w/ the package ones when i upgraded, but i might not have. since i don't have immediate access to the server (to restart sshd) i can't get access to the config files for the server (closed everything except ssh, =p), but i'll post them if you need them once i get ssh back up on the server-side. do you guys have any ideas? thanks in advance, herbert
