Hi all, My desktop is Lenny but my server is still Etch. I am having a lot of trouble with SFTP processes hanging on the server, resulting in a hung client as well. I use Vim's Netrw (using sftp) quite a lot to update my website on the server and I get hit a lot by this. It also happens when I use sftp commands manually from the commandline.
Plain ssh sessions seem stabler but sometimes also go defunct. Here is an example showing `ps -axuf` for such a hung process (in this case : issued the command ":e sftp://myserver.com/"; in Vim to show a directory listing. root 17636 0.0 0.2 8636 2548 ? Ss 00:06 0:00 \_ sshd: sander [priv] sander 17645 0.0 0.1 8636 1572 ? S 00:06 0:00 | \_ sshd: san...@notty sander 17646 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs 00:06 0:00 | \_ [ls] <defunct> Any idea what can cause this or how to solve this? I have been looking at the KeepAlive options for sshd but that doesn't help. Sometimes a process goes defunct right after connecting for the first time. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Sander Marechal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
