: Question: what happens to the background process groups? what
: should happen to them?
: 
: By closing the pty master you cause them to get errors when
: they next try to interact with the pty slave. Shouldn't they
: get SIGHUP? Sshd cannot figure out what the process groups
: are, so it can't send them SIGHUP; but an external script
: could use the proc tools/ps/lsof to find all those orphaned
: process groups and HUP them.

Shouldn't one just send HUP to the session leader?  Most shells pass
the HUP along to their children anyway.
