I don't know what exactly was happening, but after looking at that link my guess is that it occurred when I enabled the firewall. If I'm logged in and enable it, my ssh connection is dropped...except I don't get disconnected, the ssh connection is simply unresponsive. Which makes sense since the firewall just went up. But maybe that's part of the problem? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
