Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.7p1-4 Severity: wishlist I have a master connection to most of the machines with which I deal. Every now and then, I need X forwarding or SSH Agent forwarding, but there is no way to connect to the machine (other than through IP or a host alias not in .ssh/config) without going via the control socket. -o ControlMaster=no doesn't work, and neither does -S /dev/null. It would be nice if the -M option could be extended to invert its meaning when ControlMaster is turned on already: - -M -MM ControlMaster off direct master master ControlMaster on master direct direct ControlMaster auto master* direct masterask*/direct as far as I can tell, this would be compatible with the current behaviour (provided ControlMaster is off), but it would also allow single connections to go directly, even if ControlMaster is on. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.106 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.20 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.16.6 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.40.8-2 common error description library ii libedit2 2.9.cvs.20050518-4 BSD editline and history libraries ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-7 SSL shared libraries ii passwd 1:4.1.0-2 change and administer password and ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime openssh-client recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
