Reconnecting to a session

[William Strecker-Kellogg <willsk@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is it possible to reconnect to a session after calling ssh_disconnect()?
The docs lead me to think that it should be, but doing following (with
appropriate error checking) doesn't work.

s = ssh_new();
ssh_options_set(s, SSH_OPTIONS_HOST, host);
ssh_options_set(s, SSH_OPTIONS_LOG_VERBOSITY, &ssh_verbosity);
ssh_options_set(s, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH1, &off);
ssh_options_set(s, SSH_OPTIONS_COMPRESSION, &on)

ssh_connect(session);
ssh_is_server_known(session);
ssh_userauth_autopubkey(session, NULL);

ssh_disconnect(session);
puts(ssh_get_disconnect_message(s));

ssh_connect(session);
ssh_is_server_known(session);
ssh_userauth_autopubkey(session, NULL);

ssh_disconnect(session);
puts(ssh_get_disconnect_message(s));


The first connect goes fine (auth done while running agent), but then
the following:

from the first get_disconnect_message():

"Connection not closed yet"

from the second ssh_is_server_known() (error checking code not shown):

"ssh_is_host_known called without cryptographic context"

And the next authentication gives:

"Received SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT: 33554432:Protocol error: expected packet
type 30, got 50"

Putting a sleep of 1-sec between calls doesn't fix things either, nor
does calling ssh_silent_disconnect() instead.

There is probably something I am missing and would appreciate any help
along these lines. I can provide the full code that reproduces this, but
am not sure where the problem lies (I suspect it all stems from the
"Connection not close yet").

Thanks,
Will
