Regardless, I would only do it if you would include it with the OpenSSH distribution, so I would need to know your opinion. OpenSSH is a very useful an very versatile tool. Not only a remote terminal - but also an FTP-like client/server, an app for copying files, an aid for port

Hi, Question: Can a TCP server (running on the same host as the OpenSSH server) know the user id/name of a user forwarding an TCP port ? I.e. if someone on some client machine does ssh -L9999:localhost:9999 someuser at somehost nc localhost 9999 and a service accepts the connection on port localhost:9999 on somehost, can it somehow safely read out the user name "someuser"?
