SSH strangeness on 4.9

[Christian Hartmann]

Dear list && R.Schilling,

I had the same issue between macosx and linux.
It seems, that a process/ sh is running (in the background ).

I my case it happend with the program screen.
screen is running on linux. than I logged in from a maxosx to my linux
box and reattaching the screen. next I opened a new screen-shell
and after all work is done, I detach the screen, log out and went back 
to my linux box. On that box I have  sometimes an idle ssh-connection, which
seems to hang. 
I only realize that issue from time to time. 
As you asks this list, I have spent some time to understand my
hanging ssh-connections. the only way to close the hanging connection
was to switch and close the screen-shell, which I opened 
after the ssh-login. 
So I believe at most to Gregory Bond, that there is at least
one process, which was started and still not stop.

What shows the 'w' command ? Do you see the hanging connections
with a tty ? than check all processes to this tty.

I hope, it helps in any way.

Christian
