[Bug 592434] Re: ssh -X user at machine hangs when using exit to terminate

[David Bensimon]

** Description changed:

- Hi Bonnie,
+ ssh -X user at server hangs when using exit to terminate
  
- Sorry for not attaching the spider script. Since I am able to reproduce the issue, spider is no longer as important to the case as there isn't we can do to support the issue other than providing workarounds and assist you in reporting it to developers. Since you would like to create a bug, i suggest going on the client machine and running:
- ubuntu-bug openssh-client
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ user at client:~$ ssh -X user at server
+ user at server:~$ gedit
  
- Followed by going on the server and running:
- ubuntu-bug openssh-server
+ At this point gedit from server will run locally. Closing the program
+ and returning to the terminal you run:
  
- Once you do this you can describe the issue in the bug. Please provide
- the two bug numbers once this is done so that we may track the issue.
+ user at server:~$ exit
+ logout
  
- Regards,
-

- David - I have not been able to find spider. It was not attached to your earlier comment. If the problem is openssh, yes I would like to open an issue with them.

- Hello Bonnie,
- 
- As you will see in the video attached I can confirm the issue when using
- Ubuntu 10.04 as a client and Ubuntu 8.04 as the server, using default
- password authentication.
+ At this point the terminal hangs on the echo logout, but does not return to the client prompt. The action has been consistent when connecting to a server running opensolaris or ubuntu 8.04.
+ The client is using Ubuntu 10.04 and the server is using 8.04, and using default password authentication. As you will see in the video attached I can confirm the issue when using a clean Ubuntu 10.04 as a client and Ubuntu 8.04 as the server, using default password authentication.
  
  However there are a few things you can do to work around this issue.
  -When logging out press Ctrl-D
  -When logging out with "exit" and it hangs, press Ctrl-C
  -If you would like to simply use gedit on another computer use the following command:
  ssh -X lucas at machine gedit
- 
- Please let me know if this helps. If you would like to report an issue
- with openssh, we can assist you with this process as well.

- Regards,
-

- Hello Bonnie,
- 
- To confirm the client is using Ubuntu 10.04 and the server is using
- 8.04, and using default password authentication. Please also provide the
- spider output after this has happened.

- There is not attachment to either the case or the email that I received. I have reproduced in this manner
- 
- hostname=thyme
- user1=test1
- user2=test2
- 
- Login to console as test1
- open terminal
- 
- ssh -X test2 at thyme
- enter password
- gedit - window pops up on the terminal
- click red x to exit
- at host prompt type : exit
- you will get the echo - logout and it hangs.
- 
- If you try this a test1 it will exit right away.
- it has to be ssh -X differentuser at thyme -
- 
- The action has been consistent from the following os's
- opensolaris, ubuntu 8.04
- 
- Thanks
