SSH not disconnecting for non-root user

[Ian Wienand]

Hi,

This list isn't a good place to ask VMware questions.

In general, on ESXi ssh login is not supported.  non-root ssh login is
even more not supported :)

Drop me a private mail with what version you're using and some more
details about where you're copying to, I'll take a quick look
