Hi, I use openssh-2.9p2 on LynxOS i386 system. sshd runs on LynxOS and ssh client on Redhat 7.0 Linux system (openssh-2.9p2 ssh client). The ssh client hangs on exit 90% of times. I don't think this is the usual hang-on-exit bug, because, there are no background processes running, I suppose. I attach the server debug messages. $ssh -V hari at lynx (From Linux) ... Password: ... lynx> lynx>exit debug: callback start debug: client_input_channel_req: rtype exit-status reply 0 debug: callback done logout <HANGS> server debug messages: lynx#sshd -d ...

Can anyone help me as to why this happens and the way out, Hari. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
