Does it tell us anything interesting? Yay! I am glad someone else on the planet is experiencing this. I noticed this started happening to me after updating some CentOS Linux 8 systems today. I discovered if I set ForwardX11=no (either on ssh command line or in ~/.ssh/config) the hang does not happen. But why does that matter? No updates to openssh. It is not the systemd update doing something silly with session management. I painfully downgraded manually and rebooted to no effect. As an aside, why can't we we have nice things in life like 'dnf downgrade systemd\*' actually work? I did the below - might be dumb, but it worked -- alternate suggestions to downgrade are appreciated - searching the list and my google-fu was off the mark today. cd [path-to-repo]/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages dnf downgrade $(rpm -qa systemd\* | grep 239-41.el8_3.2 | sed -e 's/3\.2/3.1/' -e 's/^/.\//' -e 's/$/.rpm/') Chris
