openssh-2.1.1p1 on HP-UX 11.00: processes hanging around

[Ulrich Windl]

Hello,

I'm unsure what kind of problem this is, but If I use

eval $(ssh-agent)
ssh-add
scp ...
(several times)

ssh-add -D
exit

There are many ssh processes around in the system:

However the only SSH directory remaining in /tmp is:

rkdvmhp3:windl(46) % ll -d /tmp/s*
drwx------   2 root       sys             96 Nov  6 11:32 /tmp/ssh-GClt4020

Is this a known problem?

Configuration was quite simple:

# This directory was configured as follows,
# on host rkdvmhp3:
#
# ./configure
