Hi,

I am the author of Net::SFTP::Foreign, a perl module implementing an sftp
client on top of ssh (it just runs "ssh foo -s sftp" and then talks
sftp).

Several of my users have asked me for a way to know what went wrong when the
connection fails but ssh always returns 255. So what I would like to see is a
way to request ssh to return a different error code (maybe via a new command
line flag) for every error condition (for instance, host not found, connection
refused, authorization failed, etc).

Cheers,

  - Salvador.
