Hi, I have a loop as follows, dataStr <- character(0) repeat{ fstr<-read.socket(sockfd) if(fstr=="") break dataStr<-paste(dataStr,fstr) } at what point does dataStr stop accepting(gets full)?

It doesn't handle characters like ^A ^E or tab (any bash/readline stuff) -> openssh itself doesn't seem to incorporate readline, so the magic is not on readline 2. If I run

Here is a version of this widely used patch specific for OpenSSH 3.1p1, as it is still not in the main tree (perhap one day...) The patch avoids spending too much time when doing an ssh()/scp() on a down host, as it does not depend off the default TCP timeout used by connect(). Patch was tested on Linux, Solaris and HP-UX. The patch can also be found on:

The attached patch adds a new 'ConnectTimeout' option (man page updated in patch) to avoid wasting time when the target host is down. I needed that because I was using rsync/rdist over ssh for massive files update and the default connect() took too long for my purpose. The patch was tested on Linux only, but I used a similar one for ssh 1.2.XX on Linux, Solaris and HP-UX without
