Don't know about that, but I just found a peculiarity in ssh. If I ssh from a to b to c, "~." terminates the a-b session which also terminates the b-c session of course. Use "~~." instead to first terminate the b-c session while leaving a-b intact, but immediately folloing that with "~." to terminate the a-b session does not work; it gives "command no found" from bash. You have to give any other command in betweenm, even ENTER alone, then the "~." will properly terminate the a-b session. This might be what you were seeing, if you had just used "~~." to terminate a nested session. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
