           Summary: New option for ssh(1) to make it failing when remote
                    port forwarding can't be established
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8.1p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh

Hi,

In some cases it's necessary to ensure that remote port forwarding has been
established properly. Unfortunately it's impossible to do in the current ssh
since failure to establish forwarding is not fatal. Attached please find patch
which adds new option for ssh (default is off), which allows to make such
condition a fatal error, resulting in ssh(1) exiting with error code when one
of requested remote forwardings can't be established for some reason.
