Annoyance

[Randy Herban]

Yes, the ssh is still alive and can be viewed from a ps ax on both server
(originating and destination)

If you ssh to a server, tail -f /var/log/maillog & (throws it in background)
and disconnect it will still spew the maillog to the screen and not
disconnect you from the server.

Restarting MS does the same thing.  I looked through the /etc/init.d file
and didn't see anything out of the ordinary that would start a process in
the background so I'm wondering what/where is doing this.

I haven't seen this myself. Is the ssh process still alive after you have
disconnected, or what?
