Sometimes when I am working from home I have 3 or 4 ssh sessions open on the server and then there is some kind of hiccough on the connection and I am disconnected. I have a couple of questions on this: 1. When I log back in and do a 'who' command I see that the earlier sessions are still running. What is the best way to log them out and close them from my new session? 2. Sometimes I get disconnected and then can't get back in. I wonder if the server has crashed, but if I wait, usually, about 15 minutes or less I get back in again. Once I had to wait until the next day before it recovered. Is this from some mechanism in FreeBSD that notices when a program has had a problem and restarts it? This happens with ftpd as well as ssh. I am running FreeBSD 4.1.
