From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010131 Netscape6/6.01 After updating to OpenSSH 2.3.0p1, I noticed the connection in "single command" invocation mode (when I use "ssh <hostname> <command>" gets closed the moment the command at the server finishes, which means that anything output at the end of the command gets lost. This breaks some of the scripts where I use commands such as "REMOTE_TIME=`ssh remote_host date`". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just try to execute a short command, such as date or ls, on a remote server. The link I tried it on was something like 100ms roundtrip, I do not know if it matters though. What you should see is the client not getting any output, although the command gets executed.
