Re: What could cause rsync to kill ssh?

Maurice,

You say, "knocking my ssh session offline on all terminals and it blocks 
ssh from being able to connect again. Even restarting sshd doesn't help".

Questions:
* Is the network stack on the affected machine still active? (Can it 
reach other services or systems on the network?)
* If the network is NOT reachable, does restarting the network stack 
make a difference?

I ask because I intermittently see what seems to be a similar 
behavior--rsync client (3.2.7) to a remote system with rsync (3.2.3) and 
a 5.11.x linux kernel that occasionally terminates with the linux system 
losing access to the network where restarting the network stack doesn't 
seem to restore access and requires a reboot of the linux system in 
question.
