Description

Discussed in https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/discussions/1038

Originally posted by dca00 November 7, 2022
With the help of password prompt event suggested by @darkoperator, I was able to connect to FreeBSD and run a bunch of commands. However, once I make a 2nd connection to the same host and call 1 RunCommand(), the 2nd RunCommand() hangs.

I cannot reproduce this behavior in any Linux distro or version (RHEL, openSUSE, SLES, Debian, Fedora), so it is probably FreeBSD-specific.

Research direction

Start with the discussion linked from issue #1039 and reproduce the reported sequence on FreeBSD: make a first connection, make a second connection to the same host, then call RunCommand(). Compare the behavior with the listed Linux distributions; done means the second RunCommand() completes instead of hanging.
