Well, -n is what you need, and when using -N ssh doesn't terminate for me so long as the remote host is running ssh protocol version 2 (which is required for -N to work.) If the remote host is only running protocol 1 and you don't have the power to upgrade the daemon on the remote host (which would be the ideal solution), you'll have to give ssh a command to run--either sleep with a long timeout, or a small program that simply sits around and does nothing until terminated. -- Ben Winslow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
