The ssh protocol (on which fish sits) has two mechanisms to test if the client is still there. TCPKeepAlive - will send packets to the client and will detect if the window has been closed or the computer rebooted. TCPKeepAlive defaults to ON in Mandrake. I think it takes about a minute before tearing down the connection. ClientAliveInterval/ClientAliveCountMax passes encrypted messages to the client to detect if it is still active. In Mandrake this feature defaults to OFF You can see/change the configuration if you look at the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config Where you see a line commented out with a '#' the value shown is the default. If you want to change it remove the '#' and restart ssh service in Mandrake Control Centre>System>Services. You can read all the options for ssh here http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man5/sshd_config.5.php I have been using ssh and fish now for several years, and have never had a need to change the default behaviour. Just kill a fish window when you are finished with it and everything will be fine. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
