similar to: feature request: single flag to unset ControlPath

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

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

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

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, 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

Hi. Just a suggestion : in the ControlPath syntax, you could add a %H that would expand to the name of the "Host" specification matched, + %h. In my opinion, when you add a "Host" paragraph with a different name for the same target host, generally you dont want to reuse the same control socket. Of course you can write different ControlPath directives in each specification
