openssh bugs - Jan 2015 - [Bug 2339] New: openssh consumes stdin even if command isn't interactive

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2339

            Bug ID: 2339
           Summary: openssh consumes stdin even if command isn't
                    interactive
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.9p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: ebrauer-mailing at tofex.de

As ssh has the -n option for this (and therefor I'd treat this as a
documentation enhancement), it should be clearly stated in the manual
page that even a "ssh <host> true" will eat stdin. This is
especially
not obvious here (bash script):

echo -e "1\n2\n3" | while read s; do echo Hello; done

vs.

echo -e "1\n2\n3" | while read s; do ssh <host> echo Hello; done

Please, add this to documentation - it'd have saved me some time ;)

Kind regards
Eckard
