[Bug 273] sshd hangs on shell exit if user spawned child with/bin/nohup

[Nicolas.Williams at ubsw.com]

Perhaps the man page should be fixed then, because neither
rsh nor rlogin provide any kind of port forwarding, or X11
forwarding, etc...

Also, the comparison between ssh and rsh is more appropriate
if you're talking about SSHv1 and much less so if you're
talking about SSHv2.
