openssh bugs - Feb 2016 - [Bug 2544] New: Port names are not supported!

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2544

            Bug ID: 2544
           Summary: Port names are not supported!
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.9p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: bbubje at gmail.com

None of these options support port names (coming from f.e.
/etc/services):
-D
-p
-L
-R
...

-L and -R should also support fetching port names from the remote
'/etc/services'.

Right now, there's some syntax checking code that only accepts numeric
values for a port. I expect this to still be an issue with the latest
OpenSSH release (but I have not verified this).

--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
This should be fixed in OpenSSH 7.9

commit 2581333d564d8697837729b3d07d45738eaf5a54

    upstream: Support using service names for port numbers.

    * Try to resolve a port specification with getservbyname(3) if a
     numeric conversion fails.
    * Make the "Port" option in ssh_config handle its argument as a
     port rather than a plain integer.
