openssh bugs - Jun 2022 - [Bug 3449] New: LocalForward doesn't support ~/path syntax for UNIX sockets

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3449

            Bug ID: 3449
           Summary: LocalForward doesn't support ~/path syntax for UNIX
                    sockets
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: v9.0p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: calestyo at scientia.org

Hey.

LocalForward, and presumably the other *Forward options too, doesn't
seem to support ~/ syntax for UNIX sockets, as e.g. supported by
options like IdentityFile.

e.g.:
  LocalForward ~/.ssh/forward-sockets/foo /home/remote-user/sock
doesn't work, while:
  LocalForward /home/local-user/.ssh/forward-sockets/foo
/home/remote-user/sock
works.

Perhaps that could be added.

Thanks,
Chris.

That would not be hard to add.

Note that it would not make sense to expand tildes for the remote path
since there's no guarantee that the local path is the same as the
remote path (this is not in your example, just mentioning it.)

I guess for a remote expansion sshd would need to support it?

At least ssh should then fail (or warn), if a remote component is a
tilde-expansion style pathname, so that users don't wrongly assume it
might work.

Thinking of it again:

A ~ in the remote path would IMO *only* make sense to be expanded in
the remote context (or not at all, if that's not possible).

Cause the remote path if course to be taken with respect to the remote
file hierarchy.
