Package: ssh Version: 1:4.3p2-8 Severity: normal Using this commandline within a script with /dev/stdin redirected to /dev/null, and trying to make sure that it never asks for passwords in the case that the remove server has lost its NFS mounts and can't find my key (I just want it to bail in that case): ssh -T -D 1081 -C [EMAIL PROTECTED] waitforme
It tries to read from /dev/tty, locking up the entire window manager as everything gets a SIGTTOU. > l /proc/`pidof ssh`/fd total 6 lr-x------ 1 tconnors tconnors 64 Jan 22 09:46 0 -> /dev/null l-wx------ 1 tconnors tconnors 64 Jan 22 09:46 1 -> /tmp/sshDswin.out l-wx------ 1 tconnors tconnors 64 Jan 22 09:46 2 -> /tmp/sshDswin.out lrwx------ 1 tconnors tconnors 64 Jan 22 09:46 3 -> socket:[10789368] lrwx------ 1 tconnors tconnors 64 Jan 22 09:46 4 -> socket:[10789381] lrwx------ 1 tconnors tconnors 64 Jan 22 09:46 5 -> /dev/tty ssh takes 99% CPU, and everything else gets suspended. strace of the ssh process reveals an endless loop of trying to read from the tty (which I can't imagine even existing -- unless its trying to talk to the tty that startx ran off), getting SIGTTOU, and trying again: Process 31073 attached - interrupt to quit --- SIGTTOU (Stopped (tty output)) @ 0 (0) --- sigreturn() = ?
