Re: fail to exit shell after issuing 'ssh -f .... targethost.foo.bar sleep 500000' [SOLVED]

["Jochen Kirn" <jochen.kirn@gmail.com>]

**Hi Darren,

thanks for the information.
I've applied the mentioned patch for openssh 4.5p1

the patch itself contains a minor typo (closing bracket) for line 1455 (I've
attached a corrected version of
your patch to bug http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52).

The patch itself resolves the issue of hang-on-exit on AIX when executing a
'ssh -f ...'

thanks for your great help :-)
