Could you please point out a way how to reproduce this problem? I don't think this is a "bug" in OpenSSH, but rather a hardware or kernel problem... ;)
Yes Christoph you've all the reason... the post title isn't the best.
The only way to reproduce (the only way I know at present moment) the crash is simply use a ssh connection. The ssh-client machine simply lose connection, but not appear anymore problem and the ssh-server (the machine which runs under SuSE 10) appears completly freeze.
"Just using ssh connections" isn't very specific + I guess I'm not the only one who is using ssh very intensively on a daily basis (and I didn't slip into this once).
Only mechanical reset is able :(
I've watched in /var dir and I've not found anything interesting.
¿Where do I watch to get more info?
I'd recomment to "monitor" that very maschine with a serial console to be able to catch potential error messages or even oops. Regards Christoph
