openssh bugs - Jul 2009 - [Bug 1618] New: Option to connect tty to a socket

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1618

           Summary: Option to connect tty to a socket
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.1p1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: darius at dons.net.au


It would be quite helpful to have an option that allows you to connect
to a socket on the remote machine.

This would make it trivial to run SSH to tunnel $PROTO in an
application, currently I call nc on the remote machine but that's
another required tool.

Implement stdio passthrough port forward mode

Actually I wrote something like that about a year ago but never
published it because although it worked well enough for my purpose it
didn't close connections cleanly.

I've dusted off the patch, tidied it up and fixed the problem with the
channel close.

With the attached patch,
    ssh -W hostb:port hosta

should be functionally equivalent to

    ssh hosta netcat hostb port

Works in my limited testing (ie a couple of times, just now).

Implement stdio passthrough port forward mode

Prevent interaction with other port forwards by always clearing them,
plus make the argument handling slightly less hacky.

This mode would be really, really useful if it could be passed over the
multiplexing socket. Of course, that would probably require that we
support passing other forwards too.

Just sayin' :)

Support for opening stdio forwards over multiplexed sessions has just
been committed too and will be in OpenSSH 5.4.
