Hi, I've installed OpenSSH 3.7.1 on AIX. After I've installed it, when I try to reboot the machine using shutdown -Fr command remotely, it doesn't reboot at all, and it hangs. If I'm doing it from its terminal (ie not thru ssh to the remote machine), the machine will reboot. Do you know how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance! Regards, Felix

Thanks in advance!What output do you get in the SSH session before it hangs? Does it reboot if you disconnect the SSH session when it hangs?

Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.

What I do is to ssh as root into the box, then manually start bash as the shell. If I do 'shutdown -Fr' from within bash, the shutdown doesn't complete. If I exit bash, and start the shutdown from roots default korn shell, the shutdown works fine. So, my guess has been that shutdown kills bash and that that somehow blocks/signals shutdown. Maybe your problem is something similar? BTW: AIX 5.2 ml1 and AIX 5.1 ml5. -jf
