No obvious way to log out from ssh session with fish kioslave

[Prateek Karandikar]

Binary package hint: konqueror

An important part of using the fish:// kioslave to transfer files is logging out of the ssh session, specially when working on a computer other than your own. There is no obvious way to do this currently.

Installed from: Ubuntu Packages

It happens friends use my computer to retrieve documents from their University account when they visit me. After opening a session using fish in Konqueror, there is no way to close the session. If I close the tab, then open a new one and input the server name (which moreover is in the history), I can access their account without being prompted for their password.

I think the session should be closed when the tab is closed.

Would be nice to have.

Isn't it _essential_ that a user properly ends an ssh session when done, on a public computer? Otherwise the next user of the computer may get read and write access to the first user's personal data.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. But don't worry! This issue is being tracked by the KDE developers at: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151983
Once fixed in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the fix is in in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
