SSH Shutdown and CVS

[Andrew Bell]

Hi,

I have a problem with using openssh and cvs.  CVS on my client forks an ssh 
process, send stuff across the ssh connection to the CVS server.  The CVS 
server process, forked by sshd, exits, but the CVS client hangs, waiting 
for the ssh process that it forked to die (CVS has closed the pipe that it 
uses to communicate to ssh).

Can you tell me why the ssh process might hang if the remote command has 
exited?  Can someone summarize the shutdown process so that I can schlep 
through the code and look for the bug.

Thanks,
