[CentOS] Re: Gnome Terminal and xterm problems

I should add that the hang occurs after an unknown amount of time.

I've noticed this in CentOS 4  5 and Fedora 5  6.  If I'm in Gnome

doesn't recover.

These servers are all over the country on different ISPs in Tier1
datacenters.  Some are in our office, so they are on the local lan.
We have a mix of RHEL 3, 4  5 and CentOS 4  5 on the servers.  If
I'm using a windows computer with putty or SecureCRT this never
happens, it only happens when I'm using any of our linux desktops or
laptops.  It doesn't matter if I'm in the office or at home (on
comcast) or over at a friend's house (verizon dsl).  This problem has
been going on for at least two years and I'm finally fed up to the
point where I might switch back to windows since 99% of my job is
working while ssh'ed into servers.

Anyone had similar problems?

Are we talking days, hours, or minutes here?  I use ssh all the time  
to log into the systems I manage, but they are all on the LAN.  I  
often log into my home CentOS system, and keep the connection up for  
an entire work day (8+ hours).


I currently have some ssh sessions that have been running for at  
least a few weeks.  When the connection hangs, are you still able to  
disconnect it using ~. (make sure you hit return before you try  
that escape sequence).
