I have puppet managing a handful of VMs, and see this "other end went away" error a lot. As noted in #64, it leaves a lot of CLOSE_WAIT connections lying around. Before long, these fill up the connection table make it very difficult to SSH into the machine to repair.
My current workaround is a cron job that does a puppet restart daily, this obviously isn't an ideal solution. -- Robin <ro...@kallisti.net.nz> JabberID: <eyth...@jabber.kallisti.net.nz> http://www.kallisti.net.nz/blog ||| http://identi.ca/eythian PGP Key 0xA99CEB6D = 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
