even if the bacula was tunnelled over the ssh itself, if the ssh is more tolerant timeout wise it will sit around waiting, just not pass any packets to bacula, which could give up sooner. If the socket is actually seeing a closure packet (could be from your wifi router affecting plain vs encrypted connections differently), no timeout is going to help it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
