Package: autossh Version: 1.3-4 Severity: normal I have the following trace from my system logs for an interface that was up but not working:

The command was: autossh -f -N -L 10025:foo.example.com:10025 foo.example.com This causes a considerable CPU load (in syslog!). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages autossh depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:4.6p1-5 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh autossh recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
