Hello, I have been observing the case where some part of the proxy connection(s) break/time out, and the "tunnelconnect" proxy (http://www.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html) exits. The problem is that the process turns into a zombie and _stays_ that way. SSH (OpenSSH-3.9p1) does not seem to wait() for it. Looks like a "deadwait".

Looks like a "deadwait".What platform is this on? I'm guessing a Linux 2.6 kernel? You can try the patch here: http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=967 Someone reported that this doesn't fix ssh2 sessions but I haven't had time to look at it again. -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience.
