Hello,
I write to ask about a problem I am having with sshd to which I have
not found any helpful information googling around.
I run sshwindows ("OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004") in
almost 20 hosts (a mix of Win2K3 and Win2K), from time to time, I found
in some of the Win2K3 that there are 2 sshd processes running, one of
them consuming lots of CPU (from 80% to almost 100%). When this happens,
the server still accepts new connection without problem, but the general
performance of the server is degraded. The solution I found is just
killing the process that consumed the CPU, but I would like to know why
is this happening.
The sshd is part of a software that periodically connects to the servers
from a remote locations and runs a couple of commands. Sometimes it also
copy some files to the server using scp (in the client side).
The problems looks sporadic to me, so I could not reproduce it at will.
Have you hear of something like this before? what can I do to solve this
problem?
I saw some similar behavior in telnet sessions when running interactive
scripts and the client part stop responding unexpectedly, but never with
sshd.
Thank you very much!
