openssh unix dev - Jul 2021 - ssh -N counterpart in ssh_config

Hey.

I've just wondered whether there is a counterpart for ssh's -N for
ssh_config... at least I couldn't find anything in the manpage.

Thanks,
Chris.

in your sshd_config ensures that no interactive commands can be used

For good measure you can also add
ForceCommand    /usr/bin/false
which will override any command which is specified on the command line

Dear Chris,

This is currently not possible, but there is a pull request from me in
review that is providing missing ssh_config counterparts to several
command line options:

    https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/231

I already improved that pull request according to the first feedback I
received from this mailing list, and I hope it will be accepted soon.

Then, "ssh -N" will be equivalent to:

    SessionType none


Best regards,
Volker
