Tracking Down Ubuntu BASH Session Closing

Just tested one and I logged in and within two seconds it had logged me out again.

Could it be some strange cron job or something? Or did this start after a system upgrade?

Can you scp files?

IRJ

I would try to download some config files so I could look at them

I'm sure that I can. I'll get some.

Could be, definitely. But I looked and haven't found one.

Created a new user from scratch. Same issue just seconds after first login.

scottalanmiller

I'm pretty sure that it is not SSH related, because sudo sessions get closed, too.

scottalanmiller

I've switched my shell to zsh and so far, no logouts.

scottalanmiller

If I use zsh, I'm good. If I enter BASH from zsh, I get kicked out after several seconds. Definitely is something to do with BASH.

@IRJ TMOUT variable never appears in /etc

scottalanmiller

I manually set the TMOUT variable to 0 to disable it, and it still happens. So that is not what is being used.

scottalanmiller

Tried disabling AppArmor, but that did nothing.

Try this command first to bypass bash settings

ssh -t <host> dash

Using ZSH is what I am doing, works fine, too.

Pretty confident that it is none of those. They are all vanilla.

@IRJ brand new users have the issue, too.

Doesn't bash have a global default config that applies to all users?
