Of course it closes, that's what the client side is programmed to do.

    def channelOpen(self, ignoredData):
        self.data = ''
        d = self.conn.sendRequest(self, 'exec', common.NS('cat'),
wantReply = 1)
        d.addCallback(self._cbRequest)

    def _cbRequest(self, ignored):
        self.write('hello conch\n')
        self.conn.sendEOF(self)

Maybe sending EOF isn't the smartest move if you want to keep the thing
open..
