Hi,
just wondering if you also experience gnome terminals freezing after a while...? It mainly happens over the week-end. I would leave a terminal open (with an ssh session to a remote site), come back on monday and type a few commands and it jwould just freeze. But it also happen from time to time randomly during the day (but still with days old terminals). Happens to my collegues too. The Gnome terminal Reset option would not do anything. any idea what could be the problem?
Thx, JD

Maybe have a look at the strace. But if you have an ssh session open chances are, that timed out.

In which case the escape sequence '~.' should close the connection and give you could terminal back.

And it is not a simple timeout; it is a total terminal freeze. The thing is that, on monday, I can still use it a little bit before it freezes... I would do a ls or df... and it works for a while and then it freezes in the middle of the output... Pressing the return key won't go to the next line, etc... But the Gnome terminal menus still work fine.

I am having a similar problem. I have some CentOS boxes serving SSH inside the network, and I reach them from home across an older Fedora 3 gateway box. Some variable time after I quit working for a while (perhaps around two minutes, but sometimes much longer), the connection is lost. It has stunned me also, that when you are back at the keyboard, you can get some characters through before the connection shuts down. Would like to have it explained.

For timeouts, I did add "ServerAliveInterval xxx" in my /etc/ssh_config (client): That fixed my timeouts, but not my freezes...
