If you ssh somewhere using openssh protocol 2 and launch a background task that hasn't closed stdout and stderr, your ssh session will hang when upon logout, until the launched app closes those descripters (e.g., when it finishes).
Perhaps /etc/init.d/mysql redirects stdout/stderr to /dev/null? Ours didn't, until we added it, but perhaps yours already does. F-secure's ssh client doesn't have this problem (or, as it's seen by many, feature), nor did openssh protocol 1. --Pete On Tue, May 28, 2002 at 04:39:43PM -0700, justin cunningham wrote: > Why does this happen?
