Re: bash and sshd hang

[Chris Boot <bootc@bootc.net>]

Hi there,

I just had the same problem, and I found out it was due to the pam_ldap 
module. If you comment out the "session sufficient pam_ldap.so" line it 
solves the problem. If you're not using pam_ldap it might be a similar 
problem, try running sshd in verbose mode and see what sort of output 
you get before and after you kill the out of control process.

HTH,
Chris
