Sounds like you have a shell problem.... Can you log on some other way
without ssh or with a different shell?

Hello, Arvinn:
No, I've never seen this, but this likely has nothing to do with
policyd itself. A few quetsions:
1) Do you experience this with any other programs?
Nope. Not that I've tested that many. On the other hand I have tested it
on 8 different systems. Same behavior.
2) I'm assuming you are launching policyd as "root"?
As of now yes. I've planned to change it to an unprivileged user before
production setting though.
3) What shell are you using? (Also, make sure all the limit/ulimit
settings have typical root priviledges after you log in or "su"
to "root".)
Running bash as root. Running policyd -c policyd.conf (or
/etc/init.d/policyd start or restart) then exit -> ssh lives forever.
4) Does turning up the DEBUG level show anything revealing in the logs?
Nope :(.
5) Are you using the init script thatcomes with policy d (under
contributed software, I believe):

I ask, because otherwise, you might have a stray lock file somewhere
that's preventing policyd from running properly.
Yes I use this init script. But whether I use it or not has no effect on
the behavior I described. Same thing happens when I try to leave the ssh
login shell. When I run the init script all looks good like every other
init scripts. And policyd works like a charm, or in other words; it does
exactly what it is supposed to do.. I've ran it with greylisting in
training mode on several nodes for some days and I have cumulated more
than 300k's of rows in the triplet table. Nothing suspicious at all;
Except the way it insists to keep my terminal.
