Package: ssh
Version: 1:4.6p1-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

If you are using control sockets with ssh, if your ssh session dies (or is 
killed)
then the control socket is left in your .ssh directory.  The next attempt to
connect to the same host results in an error like:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh remote
Control socket connect(/home/puck/.ssh/ssh_control_remote_22_puck): Connection 
refused
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

You then have to manually remove that file and then run ssh again.

It seems to me that ssh should be smart enough to remove the file if it
receives a connection refused.

Cheers!
