[Bug 407428] [NEW] sshd zombie processes and strange behavior after karmic upgrade

2009-07-31 Thread Michael Helmling
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openssh-server

Hi, since upgrading to karmic on one machine I get a strange behavior of
sshd:

- After exitting an SSH-session, the terminal on the client machine hangs 
instead of closing
- On the server there is a sshd defunct after each such session (this is 
especially annoying since I have a nagios server checking the SSH status every 
few minutes, so the number of zombie processes rapidly increases)
- Additionally, I noticed that Ctrl-C does not work inside the SSH session, 
which is a bash shortcut that I use very often ;-) (should start a new empty 
command line ignoring what you've entered so far)


Restarting sshd takes exceptionally long, but at least kills all the zombies.
When I'm working on a terminal directly at the machine (i.e. not over SSH), the 
behavior is totally normal, so I consider this an ssh (or at least ssh-related) 
bug.

I've seen a similar behavior when I clone virtual machines. Rebooting
the virtual instance fixes all of the issue though.

Is your system a virtual machine or a physical machine? What happens if
you reboot the system? How is the system installed (from an iso, the
network)?
