I have a shell user whose ssh connection is sometimes disconnected by a firewall between her network and mine. When this happens, the privileged sshd child for her session does not terminate. Once a number of them equal to "MaxStartups" accumulates, new connections cannot be made, which is annoying, to say the least. Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what the story is? Please CC me on replies, as I'm not subscribed to questions. Thanks in advance. -- Ben "When I say 'literally', I literally mean 'literally'."
