openssh unix dev - Jun 2000 - source IP|interface

Hello,

I stumbled across that it seems not to be possible to 
define the source-IP|interface wihch the sshclient uses.
[like ping -I eth1 on linux or similar] ..

Any workaround? I have some weird ipsec setup and need to define
source addresses..

ciao

No as yet, though you are not the first to ask.

A quick workaround may be to use a ProxyCommand (see ssh manpage)
which does a bind() to a specified IP address before connecting.
