Interesting...I can't reproduce this using that exact method, though. If I interrupt (or send a SIGTERM to) the ssh client while it is waiting for a password, I just get: Mar 8 19:02:50 mizar sshd[7895]: Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 It could be something similar (or related to RSA authentication). -- - mdz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
