A while ago I saw some stuff about fixes for the problem with ssh2 and linux (which the FAQ on www.openssh.com is still mentioning but not offering any real solutions for). Is there any news on when/if these fixes will find their way into a release? OpenSSH 2.9p3 perhaps? :) Carl

It doesn't drop the session. It's a known bug, there's fixes for it in the current snapshots, I believe. I'm wondering if there's a formal release planned anytime soon, or if I should make up my own rpm for the current one. Which I'd rather not do, linux not really being my platform of most expertise, but rather one that I'm having to support, rather than wanting to :) Carl

If I OpenSSH v2 to our RH loonucks boxes, and start a daemon process (in this case, SNPd, but that's not relevant), I can then not disconnect. ssh just hangs after I attempt to log out. As above, it's a known problem, I believe it's fixed in -current, but I haven't had time to play with it yet to see if it is or not.> can you show some debug output for the bug?Not right now, but I can tomorrow. It doesn't really matter, the gist of my question is "are you planning a patch release anytime soon?". If you're not, I'll go to the trouble to try and test the current snapshot, if you are, I'll wait and try it then, as that'll be easier for me :)
