so-called-hang-on-exit

[Nicolas.Williams at ubsw.com]

So, this forcefully closes stdout when the session process
leader exits and stderr is already closed?

I'm not sure why that would be a good thing... What am I missing?

The hang-on-exit go around has gone round so many times... -
why buckle now on the position that it's the client's
responsibility to decide to close the SSH connection early
when the session exits, as users expect, and not sshd's?

Why not have an option for the client to do this?

Cheers,

Nico
