openssh unix dev - Aug 2008 - CIDR address/masklen matching support for permitopen="host:port" restrictions?

Dear openssh-unix-dev list,

in OpenSSH 5.1 you introduced CIDR address/masklen matching for "Match
address" blocks in sshd_config as well as supporting CIDR matching in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys from="..." restrictions in sshd.

I wonder whether CIDR address/masklen matching will be implemented for
permitopen="host:port" restrictions in sshd as well, that would be
quite beneficially (at least for me, maybe others,too;-)?


Thank you - kind regards,

Bert.

Maybe you can look into it yourself? I expect that there are some
generically useful functions for CIDR in the code.
