Disclaimer: it's been a while, neurons get recycled, I may be wrong, yadda yadda yadda. Off the top of my head, giving select() 5th argument of NULL tells it to wait indefinitely (or until interrupted by a signal). So, this > select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL^[[6~ tells select() to wait until data arrives on fd 3 (assuming the last characters are some terminal escape garbage). > The process hangs here indefinately. As it should, it's waiting for incoming connection. What happens if you telnet to port 22 on your machine? You should get something like # telnet host 22 Trying a.b.c.d... Connected to host.your.domain. Escape character is '^]'.
