When you destroy a terminal, every process that uses it should get SIGHUP (Hangup) on a POSIX system. This is something that should happen. There is a notion of a session and process groups. > > Still, why isn't that a good idea?

If you kill the sshd itself you destroy the tty device. If you only kill the shell it has spawned, that shell should handle killing its children as it sees fit. I'm too lazy to check how a bash login shell handles this and how a POSIX login shell should. As for other ssh connections not via this shell (e.g: X forwarding): This is an issue for the user and the ssh client to resolve. Anyway, as any decent ssh client leaves you the option of listing the connections and terminating the whole session, you can probably live with that. -- Tzafrir Cohen | New signature for new address and | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | new homepage | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | Space reserved for other protocols | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
