hi,

so i've been trying to setup an unattended ssh session thing by using
ssh-keygen and an empty passphrase. security is really not a concern
for me at this moment. anyway, i upload id_rsa.pub onto the remote
machine, append it to authorized_keys and everything works (ssh in w/o
password), for a little bit.

after about 5-10 minutes, it'd just stop working. i try ssh and it just
hangs. even ctrl-c wouldn't get me out. i did a -vvv and here are the
last few entries:

        debug3: tty_make_modes: 75 0
        debug3: tty_make_modes: 90 1
        debug3: tty_make_modes: 91 1
        debug3: tty_make_modes: 92 0
        debug3: tty_make_modes: 93 0
        debug1: channel request 0: shell
        debug1: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY
        debug2: callback done
        debug1: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
        debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072

earlier in the debug messages, i see that it successfully authenticated
me and tried to open a new ssh2 session. i'm not sure what's going on
here. can someone drop a few pointers? thank you very much.
