i'm trying to use the ssh command's -f option with OpenSSH v2.1.1p4 on linux (RedHat v6.2). this option doesn't seem to be working properly on my system - the specified is run succesfully but it isn't put to the background. is this a known problem? also, OpenSSH doesn't seem to interoperate with SSH Communications Security's ssh v2.3.0 (apparently because of different opinions about HMAC sizes). this can be fixed in the (ssh v2.3.0) configuration files by specifying: MACs hmac-md5 but is there any work being done for fixing this this problem in OpenSSH's part? best regards, -- aspa

OpenSSH and ssh.com-2.3.0 disagree on how hmac-sha1 should be implemented. OpenSSH-2.2.0 detects ssh.com-2.3.0 and uses their scheme. the next release implementes '-f' for protocol 2, too.
