My Application tries to ssh to a system, which is alive and i can ping to it, but my ssh command hangs and doesn't respond for hours. I tried the -o ConnectTimeout option, but this works only for machines that are not around. For example ssh -o connectTimeout=5 root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx times out in 5 seconds. My case is a little different, I know a machine exists but there is some problem with that and its not answering my ssh request. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Need-Helo-With-ssh-tf4815901.html#a13777548 Sent from the SSH (Secure Shell) mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
