 * $Id: serverloop.c,v 1.17 1998/05/23 20:37:21 kivinen Exp $
 * $Log: serverloop.c,v $
 * Revision 1.17  1998/05/23  20:37:21  kivinen
 * 	Changed () -> (void).
 *
 * Revision 1.16  1998/05/04  13:36:28  kivinen
 * 	Fixed no_port_forwarding_flag so that it will also disable
 * 	local port forwardings from the server side. Moved
 * 	packet_get_all after reading the the remote_channel number
 * 	from the packet.
 *
 * Revision 1.15  1998/03/27 17:01:02  kivinen
 * 	Fixed idle_time code.
 *
 * Revision 1.14  1997/04/21 01:04:46  kivinen
 * 	Changed server_loop to call pty_cleanup_proc instead of
 * 	pty_release, so we can be sure it is never called twice.
 *
 * Revision 1.13  1997/04/17 04:19:28  kivinen
 * 	Added ttyame argument to wait_until_can_do_something and
 * 	server_loop functions.
 * 	Release pty before closing it.
 *
 * Revision 1.12  1997/04/05 21:52:54  kivinen
 * 	Fixed closing of pty, and changed it to use shutdown first and
 * 	close the pty only after pty have been released.
 *
 * Revision 1.11  1997/03/26 07:16:11  kivinen
 * 	Fixed idle_time code.
 *
 * Revision 1.10  1997/03/26 05:28:18  kivinen
 * 	Added idle timeout support.
 *
 * Revision 1.9  1997/03/25 05:48:49  kivinen
 * 	Moved closing of sockets/pipes out from server_loop.
 *
 * Revision 1.8  1997/03/19 19:25:17  kivinen
 * 	Added input buffer clearing for error conditions, so packet.c
 * 	can check that buffer must be empty before new packet is read
 * 	in.
 *
 * Revision 1.7  1997/03/19 17:56:31  kivinen
 * 	Fixed sigchld race condition.
 *
 * Revision 1.6  1996/11/24 08:25:14  kivinen
 * 	Added SSHD_NO_PORT_FORWARDING support.
 * 	Changed all code that checked EAGAIN to check EWOULDBLOCK too.
 *
 * Revision 1.5  1996/09/29 13:42:55  ylo
 * 	Increased the time to wait for more data from 10 ms to 17 ms
 * 	and bytes to 512 (I'm worried it might not always be
 * 	working due to the delay being shorter than the systems
 * 	fundamental clock tick).
 *
 * Revision 1.4  1996/09/14 08:42:26  ylo
 * 	Added cvs logs.
 *
