Hello Brian, Not quite sure what you mean with pstree...don't know the command and no 'man pstree' on my 3.8 system..?
But if i look with ps -x | grep sshd I get the following : # ps -x | grep sshd 5245 ?? Is 0:00.33 /usr/sbin/sshd 18310 ?? Is 0:00.08 sshd: user1 [priv] (sshd) 24030 ?? Is 0:00.08 sshd: [accepted] (sshd) < I made a connection with putty and the login prompt appears 17255 p0 I+ 0:00.00 grep sshd I logged in with 'user2' : # ps -x | grep sshd 5245 ?? Is 0:00.33 /usr/sbin/sshd 18310 ?? Is 0:00.08 sshd: user1 [priv] (sshd) 24030 ?? Is 0:00.08 sshd: user2 [priv] (sshd) < The session is up and running you would say, but it is in fact just hanging.... Note that I no problems logging into the system while on the local network (doing this via a PC that I remotely manage). When I do a SSH session (via the VPN tunnel) on the INSIDE of the OBSD box, I get the same problem....(using the same account). The only differance is that i am going over a MTU changed line...while this is not the case locaclly.... Problem here is that this system is 900Km away...if I would stop the SSHD (so i could restart it with debug options....) I will not be able to reach it anymore :-( -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Brian A.

Does the privsep sshd(8) process spawn on the server? Does that spawn a login shell of the associated user? pstree(8) will show. Also, fire up debugging levels? #LogLevel INFO -> DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG3 etc. ~BAS > > ....help ! > > regards > Willem
