Sometimes when I use openssh (latest) and do find . or ls -lR /dev or similiar, my xterm 'freezes up', there is no way to fix it but to kill the xterm usually. This NEVER occurs in telnet. The error is completely reproducable when you come across it. ie: one may just be browsing the filesystem and when you come across this problem, you can launch another xterm and the EXACT same thing happens when you try to do it again Bug reports on similiar issues seem to be sparse and people I know never seem to have the problem, perhaps they use ssh from a windows machine. I was wondering what causes this, and is there a way to fix it?

It's most likely an MTU problem, see [1]. Who looks after the OpenSSH FAQ? I submitted this but never heard anything.

Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.
