It's probably totally unrelated but I have just been having problems with one of my servers since the openssh update a few days ago. SSH sessions were dieing after a few minutes even when I was actively using them. I tried everything I could think of but couldn't trace the problem. In the end, emerge -C openssh followed by emerge openssh cured it. <shrugs> Be lucky, Neil http://www.neiljw.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
