I just stumbled across this thread on openssh-dev... Is there anywhere to track progress on this issue? It'd be a fantastic feature that would fix all sorts of problems I deal with regularly. You may also be interested in an article "Design and Implementation of a Mobile SSH Protocol", if you haven't seen it, since that team implemented (afaict) the same feature, whether or not it's related to the existing implementation...

For my use autossh handles the task so well that I personally don't have any need for anything beyond it. http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/ Bob

It's a patch against the OpenBSD version but I don't think it would too much work to adapt it for the portable version.> You may also be interested in an article "Design and Implementation of > a Mobile SSH Protocol", if you haven't seen it, since that team > implemented (afaict) the same feature, whether or not it's related to > the existing implementation...I found some web pages mentioning it but I didn't find the paper itself so I can't comment on how that design differs from the AppGate based patch.
