We just moved from SSH v1.2.27 to OpenSSH v2.5.2p2 on our systems, primarily
Solaris 7.
If I ssh to a system, start a job that forks off, and try and exit, my
connection hangs, i.e.
atlcn291# /opt/ns/https-cnn/start
<iPlanet start messages>
atlcn291# exit
HANG
This is very bad, we have scripts that do automated procedures, when they hang
processing the first of over 200 machines, it causes us a bit of a problem. :)
We also see this problem on our RedHat 6.2 machines.
Interestingly enough, this only occurs with the C, and Korn shells, the Bourne
shell does not hang. I believe this is because the Bourne shell has no job
control.
We saw this problem in SSH v1.2.30, so moved back to v1.2.27, we really need to
move to v2 of SSH, but .....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
