Have you considered maybe "Save a copy in .tmp before uploading/updating
it, just in case I screw up"? :)

No, I think I didn't do that.

My suspect is that your .login contains a 'fortune', an 'stty' or two, and a 'sleep',
and those happened at login

I think probably not. Because standard FreeBSD .login contains only following line:

[ -x /usr/games/fortune ] && /usr/games/fortune freebsd-tips

 - the first *real* command actually issued was
probably a 'su -c cat something', after which the person logged out, causing the
login 'sh' and 'sshd' to exit.

Do you know what does "#C:5:0x2" mean? I still don't know what it is.
Do you have some idea?

thanks,
