RE: 1.5.12: ssh hangs with Windows XP SP2


Hello all,

Has there been any traction regarding the pipe code issues and XP SP2?
I've keeping up with the posts, but have not seen any mention of a
possible work around or patch coming.

Thanks much,
Garrett

Unfortunately, -n doesn't help. I actually looked in the archives under
"ssh hangs" and read the various messages. I am really hoping that there
will a resolution for the pipe issue. Thanks for the response.

It's usually recommended to invoke remote commands that don't require
input with the "-n" ssh flag, which will close stdin -- try that.  If it
doesn't help, this could be the problem with the new pipe code that's
been mentioned on this list -- search the web archives for "ssh hangs".
HTH,
	Igor
