Dear List, the attached patch makes rsync of local folders almost as fast as cp. when rsync client and server has detected that they are working in local_server mode, they use local_socket, a unix domain socket pair, to pass the file descriptors of the synced files. the server uses the file descriptor it receives from the client to fast copy from src to dst file. on completion of every file fast copy the server ACKs the client back on the local_socket, that it is ready to receive ano...

...ard Pardon me, I've been unclear. I don't mean TCP forwards but UNIX domain socket forwarding. I use LocalForward extensively in my ssh configs for tunnels, but although these command line options: -L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport -L [bind_address:]port:remote_socket -L local_socket:host:hostport -L local_socket:remote_socket work just fine for UNIX domain sockets, all my efforts with UNIX socket file paths have met with failure in the ssh config file, and the ssh_config(5) manual entry doesn't mention them. UNIX domain sockets have the advantage that one can apply...

The ssh command line's -L option has supported socket forwarding for a while, but as far as I can tell the ssh_config file does not, even in 7.9. Is this planned? Or is there some reason this isn't reasonable? Oris there some syntax I've missed? Cheers, Cameron Simpson <cs at cskk.id.au>

Hi folks, I'm wondering if it is possible to set up a dynamic port forward (i.e. socks proxy), where the listening socket is actually on the server rather than the client as is currently the case for -D ? A possible use case is providing a deeply firewalled box with an outbound SOCKS proxy, but only while an inbound ssh connection is active. Or, in my particular case, I have many routers
