openssh unix dev - Mar 2012 - Unix socket forwarding

Hello,

There is one option I would love to see with OpenSSH: generic Unix
socket forwarding. Something like that:
    $ ssh -L /tmp/pulse-2L9K88eMlGn7/native:/tmp/pulse-42 remotehost
(and the same with -R)

The code should already be here, since OpenSSH already implements two
specific cases of Unix socket forwarding: X11 and SSH agent forwarding.
Having an option for generic Unix socket forwarding would allow for any
number of other cases, including audio server, PGP agent, keyring server
or whatever.

Regards,

I agree this would be useful.

It's probably best to follow up on this request at its upstream bugzilla
entry [0].

If someone interested could make a revision of the patch at [1] that
applies (and builds and tests) cleanly against the current version of
OpenSSH, that would be great.
