Hello,
we run OpenSSH_2.3.0p1 on HP-UX 11.00. Today I had a problem connecting
to a machine via SSH. The connection seemed to hang. Syslog showed
nothing, and no sshd processes were started, although I had two hanging
connections (no output). I logged in via telnet and found one sshd
(master) running in addition to a ssh-agent from a session that went
away. That ssh-agent was owned by my user id. After killing the ssh-
agent, ssh login worked again.
I don't quite understand that: I thought ssh-agent is responsible for
outgoing connections, but not incoming ones. In addition, how does the
master sshd know about the existence of a ssh-agent?
Regards,
Ulrich
