Ssh connects and authenticates correctly, but sessions periodically hang for minutes at a time. This behaviour also occurs when sftp is used to transfer files - the connection will periodically hang, and then resume transfer. No problem piping rsync over ssh, though (rsync -e ssh ack ugh:/home/foo/ack). Both ssh and sftp problem occur when server is accessed over internal LAN or external DSL/modem connections. This sounds similar to the "[Bug 124] Terminal hangs when data is streaming to it..." (only that was on a different architecture). Was that issue ever resolved? Server is running RedHat 7.2. Both the openSSH 3.0.2p1-1 i386 RPM and a compile of the March 3rd snaphsot exhibit symptoms. Any help would be appreciated - I'm hoping that this is a known issue... -Tim Machuga _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
