Weird. There is perhaps some processes spawn by some /etc/profile.d/xxx.sh script. (or by some PAM module). To check that: - connect first interactively to the remote host - from another terminal start such an ssh that hangs - from the interative one list the processes involves in the hang for example with pstree. Look for the most recent processes sons of some sshd Try perhaps adding the -n option to ssh to not give stdin to the remote command, but I think that this will not work. -- francis _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
