[mosh-users] sudo: unknown uid: 501

[Quentin Smith]

Hi Jason,

This is a known issue (https://github.com/keithw/mosh/issues/249)

It's apparently a race condition inside OS X; if the sshd dies before mosh 
can fork the shell, the shell doesn't have a Mach security context.

There's a hacky patch there that just adds a 2 second sleep; we haven't 
taken it, because we'd rather find a better solution, but you might want 
to try it.
