Package: ssh Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4 Severity: normal
The manual for ssh reads: > ssh exits with the exit status of the remote command or with 255 if an > error occurred. However, ssh is wrongly exiting with 1 sometimes when an error that prevents the connection from being established occurs (such as getting ECONNREFUSED or ENETUNREACH): $ ssh -p 4444 localhost ; echo $? ssh: connect to host localhost port 24823: Connection refused 1 Another example (after ifdown eth1): $ ssh bachue.com ; echo $? ssh: connect to host bachue.com port 22: Network is unreachable 1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages ssh depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.50 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-1 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
