I have .ssh key files that I generated years ago. I copied them to
~/.ssh on my ubuntu system. Most of the time when I use ssh to run a
command on another system it works fine. Once in 50 times ssh hangs
locally.
This is not a network problem ... same issue happens with "localhost".
E.g. if I run:
$ while :
> do ssh localhost date
> done
It will print the date a few dozen times, then the loop hangs (^C
interrupts it).
I tried using strace to see what was happening. The ssh process was hung
reading from a socket.
Looking back through the strace, the socket was connected to some local
keyring thing.
Here are some relevent lines from strace output:
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 4
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0

+ A hung ssh process is often revived when some other outging ssh request

+ But sometimes it wakes up and reports a failed connection.
