38- sftp-server: Rework to step down to 32bit ints if the platform
39 lacks 'long long' == 64bit (Notable SCO w/ SCO compiler)
40
41- Linux hangs for 20 seconds when you do "sleep 20&exit". All current
42 solutions break scp or leaves processes hanging around after the ssh
43 connection has ended. It seems to be linked to two things. One
44 select() under Linux is not as nice as others, and two the children
45 of the shell are not killed on exiting the shell.
46 A short run-down of what happens:
47 - The shell starts up, and starts its own session. As a side-effect, it
48 gets its own process group.
49 - The child forks off sleep, and because it's in the background, puts it
50 into its own process group. The sleep command inherits a copy of the
51 shell's descriptor for the tty as its stdout.
52 - The shell exits, but doesn't SIGHUP all of its child PIDs like it probably
53 should(?)
54 - The sshd server attempts to read from the master side of the pty, and
55 while there are still process with the pty open, no EOF is produced.
56 - The sleep command exits, closes its descriptor, sshd detects the EOF, and
57 the connection gets closed.
58 Ways we've tried fixing this in sshd, and why they didn't work out:
59 - SIGHUP the sshd's process group.
60 - The shell is in its own process group.
61 - Track process group IDs of all children before we reap them (via an extra
62 field in Session structures which holds the pgid for each child pid), and
63 SIGHUP the pgid when we reap.
64 - Background commands are in yet another process group.
65 - Close the connection when the child dies.
66 - Background commands may need to write data to the connection. Also
67 prematurely truncates output from some commands (scp server, the
68 famous "dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000 count=100" case).
69 Known workarounds:
70 - bash: shopt huponexit on
71 - tcsh: none
72 - zsh: setopt HUP (usually the default setting)

74 - pdksh: ?
75 This appears to affect NetKit rsh under Linux as well: it behaves the same
76 with 'sleep 20 & exit'.
