TL;DR: I expect ProxyCommand to have effect in preference to ControlPath. I've just tripped over this one. I have an ssh Host (let us call it "MAIN") with a ControlPath and with ControlMaster=no, from the .ssh/config file. I also have a shell script whose purpose is to hop to a remote host through a port forward, which uses the ProxyCommand option like this: ProxyCommand ssh

This allows me to set 'ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%h.%p.%u' for example. Have I missed a good reason why ssh_connect finds the default port number for itself instead of just having it in options.port (like we do for the the default in options.user)? --- openssh-4.1p1/ssh.c~ 2005-06-12 09:47:18.000000000 +0100 +++ openssh-4.1p1/ssh.c 2005-06-12 09:40:53.000000000 +0100 @@ -604,6 +604,17

Hello All-- First, thanks for ControlPath/ControlMaster. It's very handy, and ControlMaster=autoask is just what i wanted! I'm having difficulty with a common use case, however. I want to LocalForward on secondary connections using an already-established ControlPath. From what i can tell, the second ssh connection doesn't report any errors, but silently ignores the supplied

Packing the data in TERM is a great idea!

While it's real handy to have "ControlMaster auto" to have multiple sessions get muxed into one, sometimes it's really helpful to _not_ use the same session (e.g. if you want to ssh -2fNR). It'd be quite nice if there were a flag to tell openssh to not mux the new connection at all - i.e. what "ssh -o ControlPath=none" does. (The 'obvious' invocation `ssh

Hi there, okay so I have a port knocker installed on my remote server so I am trying to bundle a bunch of directories in a single ssh session that rsync establishes. so far all the rsync examples I have seen require a new ssh session for each directory. is there anyway to get something like this into one line and therefore one ssh session. Clues on this? --- snip --- /usr/bin/rsync -avrz

Hi, It seems there is a problem regarding ControlMaster and scp'ing a file depending on the current working directory: $ cd ~/Personnel $ scp -o ControlMaster=yes cox.jpg host.local: muxserver_listen bind(): No such file or directory lost connection $ scp -o ControlMaster=no cox.jpg host.local: cox.jpg 100% 222KB 222.1KB/s 00:00 $ cd $ scp -o

Hi, Not sure if this anyone else is interested in this but to me it seems to make sense to use different control session multiplexer sockets for bulk and interactive workloads.

Hi. It would be nice to be able to configure sshd so that the following would work: After a successful password-authenticated connection from client user x on client host y, subsequent connections from client user x on client host y within a (resetting) time limit would succeed without re-authenticating via password. Perhaps this would be achieved by sshd sending the client ssh a key that

Hi, A user has noticed that X11 forwarding does not appear to work when using session multiplexing. It seems that the DISPLAY environment variable is not getting set in the slave sessions. Any thought? The ~/.ssh/config ib below. Host somehost-master ControlMaster yes ControlPath ~/.ssh/somehost.sock HostbasedAuthentication no HostName somehost Host somehost-slave ControlPath

I use ControlMaster auto (along with ControlPath) in my ssh config and find it very handy. I have noticed an annoying behavior, though: it seems that if there is no existing master connection and ssh creates a new one, the master connection process that is started has its stderr left open. This has manifested itself in two ways so far: (1) When using ssh day-to-day, I may be doing some work and

Hello, I used the SecureShell windows client from ssh.com and it have a cool feature: Once I logged on a server with ssh, I was able to create more terminals without being asked for a password again. It seems that it use the 'same channel' created from the first ssh client. So, it's possible with openssh on linux/bsd? If yes, how? If not, can you add this feature? Why I ask taht?

Hi, all Congratulations for the latest OpenSSH release! Currently I'm writing the cases for testing the new feature. But this new feature is very complex for me: Ssh(1) connection multiplexing now supports remote forwarding with dynamic port allocation and can report the allocated port back to the user: LPORT=`ssh -S muxsocket -R0:localhost:25 -O forward somehost Can you tell me the way

Hi, (I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me on reply.) I'd like to request adding a feature to OpenSSH: Task: ~~~~~ It is quite sometime useful to invoke a program prior to connecting to an ssh server. The most common use case will probably be port knocking. That is a small program sends certain packets to a server and the server reacts to this by unlocking the ssh port, which

A few options appear to be missing from the list in ssh's manual. The one I didn't add is EnableSSHKeysign, whose description implies it is only effective when placed in the system-wide config file.
