If you enter ~B and actually see a ~B printed to the screen, then ssh didn't process it because you didn't hit <cr> first. So <cr>~B will tell ssh to send a break. > It sounds like your serial console server may not know how to map SSH > break signals into remote serial break signals. Try > ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER.

Or change ssh's escape character with the -e flag. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
