Hi everyone,
i'm experiencing a strange issue, never happened before and only on 2 server over 100.. Maybe someone can point me in right direction.
basicly when i'm logged remotely with SSH output from certain commands will randomly hangs: always happen with cat or ls
nevermind if i try ls -la into a huge dir or with a dir with only few files... it hangs.
Same if i try to cat a file (small or big): it show me only few lines then hangs.
Note that if i work into console, there' s no problem, everything works perfectly.
System is a Debian Jessie, clean system with only ssh, apache and nothing more. Tried to reset and clear session, nothing. Reboot many times, nothing change.
Over Google seem sometimes this issue show with a remote filesystem mounted or not mounted correctly, but there's no nfs , iscsi , cdrom or other here..
Anyone got ideas to spare ??
many thanks
mauro

Re: SSH Terminal Hang on certain commands
Code: Select all
man ssh
-v Verbose mode. Causes ssh to print debugging messages about its
progress. This is helpful in debugging connection,
authentication, and configuration problems. Multiple -v options
increase the verbosity. The maximum is 3.
Code: Select all
ssh -v me@mysshaddress
might show something.

Re: SSH Terminal Hang on certain commands
thanks for your answer. Why you think is a SSH problem ? connection via SSH works like a charm, and if i not use command
that print terminal output, there's no problem.
Verbose show nothing strange into SSH connection. This is a screenshot of problem..
that print terminal output, there's no problem.

Re: SSH Terminal Hang on certain commands
the screenshot tells us nothing.
and why waste so much bandwidth for something that could have been copy-pasted?
please, more information about the affected machines, the operating systems and versions used on both client and server etc. etc.
and also what garryricketson asked.
of coursethe problem is ssh related, as you yourself stated.

Re: SSH Terminal Hang on certain commands
so it happens on all clients on what, 4 different operating systems? are these all baremetal installs (i.e. no virtual machines)?
unfortunately i see nothing that would indicate why certain commands would hang, but don't take my word on it.
could be a network bottleneck on either side?
client or server machine running near 100% resources (cpu, ram etc)?
if it's always cat or ls, that also might point to a filesystem issue.
what i do see, with 100% clarity, is this:
client as root, tries to ssh into the root account.
both is really, really wrong.
you should use ssh as an unprivileged user, and ssh into an unprivileged user.
from there you can still su to root or sudo.

Re: SSH Terminal Hang on certain commands
To start, check the logs on those 2 servers.i'm experiencing a strange issue, never happened before and only on 2 server over 100.. Maybe someone can point me in right direction.
They may reveal what you need to know.
Also, could be hardware related on those 2 machines, e.g. drives on the way out, bad ram, etc.
