[Bug 3285] New: Wrong documentation on -D The bind_address
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3285 Bug ID: 3285 Summary: Wrong documentation on -D The bind_address Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 8.5p1 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P5 Component: Documentation Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org Reporter: dewijones92 at gmail.com The man page says this: The bind_address of ?localhost? indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an empty address or ?*? indicates that the port should be available from all interfaces. However each of the following commands results in a different interface binding ./ssh -D 1337 -vvvv -C -N dewi at 192.168.1.1 tcp LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:1337 0.0.0.0:* users:(("ssh",pid=75605,fd=5)) uid:1000 ino:336020 sk:474 <-> ./ssh -D *:1337 -vvvv -C -N dewi at 192.168.1.1 tcp LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:1337 0.0.0.0:* users:(("ssh",pid=74357,fd=4)) uid:1000 ino:320497 sk:464 <-> So many the documentation should be different? or the code?

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3285 --- Comment #2 from dewi jones <dewijones92 at gmail.com> --- ah nice catch. But surely the following two statements contradict eachother?> The bind_address of ?localhost? indicates that the listening port be > > bound for local use only, while an empty address or ?*? indicates that > the port should be available from all interfaces.> By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting.An empty address' behaviour is governed by the second statement and is not necessarily "available from all interfaces" Many thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
