Multiple sshd logins on server

[Manish Patel]

After a month of successful use, the Repo server seems to have a massive number of sshd procs. As soon as I kill Eclipse on my desktop, the procs clear. (Substituted my bzr user name for <username> below):

root 11774 4420 0 08:25 ? 00:00:00 sshd: <username> [priv]
16790623 11791 11774 0 08:25 ? 00:00:00 sshd: <username>@pts/105

I guess it is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/1189051. If so, there is nothing we can fix in bzr-eclipse.

Actually, I think we might consider killing and restarting the local XMLRPC server periodically e.g. every 20 minutes. This way the SSH connections should be closed.
I am moving the ticket to 1.3 as we need to investigate the potential impact a bit further.

Fixed by merging the workaround from lp:~rom1-chal/bzr-xmloutput/bugfix-persistent-ssh
