Hello sshd-dev, Let say I have an SshClient shared across my app, used to establish connection to remote devices. Each time the app is attempting a connection, the #start() method of SshClient is called. Doing so created a FD leak in the app.
So I’m wondering if by design, the SshClient#start() can be called multiple time. Else, a quick and easy check in the start method to see if already started would be an easy fix. More context: [0]: is the static final definition of the SshClient, where the client is started the first time [1]: and here is where the SshClient is started on each connect attempt Thanks, Alexis [0]: https://github.com/opendaylight/netconf/blob/master/netconf/netconf-netty-util/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/netconf/nettyutil/handler/ssh/client/AsyncSshHandler.java#l46l59 <https://github.com/opendaylight/netconf/blob/master/netconf/netconf-netty-util/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/netconf/nettyutil/handler/ssh/client/AsyncSshHandler.java#l46l59> [1]: https://github.com/opendaylight/netconf/blob/master/netconf/netconf-netty-util/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/netconf/nettyutil/handler/ssh/client/AsyncSshHandler.java#l89 <https://github.com/opendaylight/netconf/blob/master/netconf/netconf-netty-util/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/netconf/nettyutil/handler/ssh/client/AsyncSshHandler.java#l89>
