Very rarely, but it has repeated, we see openssh on the client side hanging. On the server side there is no indication of connection in the logs. These are always scripted remote commands that do not have user interaction when we find it. This seems to be happening only in vm environments but I could be wrong. It seems surprising to me that there would not be timeouts and retries on the protocol, but I'm curious if this is expected behavior in some configuration or if not, what should I try to gather when it happens again? Or maybe there is some setting to make the connection reliable. We have seen this maybe 2 or 3 times over a couple of years so it is not frequent. Happened yesterday during a complex distributed installation process between rhel 7 vm's in the same data center lan. Any advice appreciated. steve _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
