openssh unix dev - Feb 2021 - Option equivalent to -n in client?

Hey all,

I was hoping to add something to ~/.ssh/config where a certain class of hosts
always gets the equivalent of `-n` flag added. I've had a look through both
the ssh client and ssh_config manuals and it seems like there is no
corresponding option?

Could such an option be added? Maybe something like "NoStdin yes" or
"StdinSource /dev/null".

Cheers!

Dear asymptosis, all,

Some time ago I created (and offered on this list) a similar patch for
the uppercase `-N` flag, which also has no corresponding sshconfig
option.

Back then it didn't receive much interest (no offense, this was just
my impression), but I could give it a second try, forward-port it and
adjust it for adding a `-n` flag equivalent as well.

Would that make sense?


Best regards,
Volker Diels-Grabsch
