I don't seem to have authlog - does that get produced with something I
don't have?

What's vv? I don't seem to find what that is...

I get a 'broken pipe' msg that I was interpreting as a disconnect.
Terminal still works, though, and I can recover on the CLI.

Sometimes it just stops working, with no error msg, as does terminal.
If I close terminal it warns me something [presumably ssh] is still
running and will be stopped if I exit. I exit and start over, and a
new ssh connects to the remote comp OK. Is that also what happens with
a disconnect, or is something else going on?

Thanks,
