[gentoo-user] Peculiar... ssh / shell glitch...

[Steve [Gentoo]]

I use cygwin openssh to connect to my Gentoo server... recently I've 
noticed a change in behaviour.

When I press <ctrl>C I'd expect my gentoo shell (zsh) to abort the 
current empty statement and wait for another.  These days, however, I 
see "Killed by signal 2" and then my ssh connection closes.  Does anyone 
have any idea why this might have started to happen?

Apparently the signal is being handled by cygwin on the client side (not a gentoo server problem).  Something must have changed in your cygwin evironment.  A quick search shows that this is a common problem:  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Killed+by+signal+2%22+cygwin+ssh.  In the first search result it suggested to "Switch off ForwardX11 in your .ssh/config".

Thanks...
I guess I suspected gentoo rather than cygwin as I first noticed just 
after an emerge -uD world... 
Cygwin it must be then.
