Bug#221849: ClientAliveInterval option emits error to screen
Package: ssh
Version: 3.6.1p2-10
Hi,
I'm connecting to some system through firewall by using:
ssh -f -N -L 2022:internalhost:22 user@firewall
exec ssh -p 2022 -X -L ... -L ... -L ... user@localhost
Recently client keepalives were enabled on the firewall, and it
renders second ssh unusable for interactive work, as after every
couple of seconds there is
client_input_channel_req: no channel -1
printed on screen, due to bogus keepalive@openssh.com request.
For now I'll stick '-o loglevel=silent' to the first ssh cmdline,
but it would be nice if keepalive could be somehow fixed in
the client to not generate error message.
With enabled debugging it says
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 1 rtype keepalive@openssh.com reply 1
client_input_channel_req: no channel -1
so I'm 100% sure that keepalive is a culprit...
Thanks,
