Good evening, on GNU/Linux boxes there are many services which use UNIX domain sockets for inter-process communication. Most of them also support TCP sockets, but that needs additional code for authentication. There used to be streamlocal patch which implemented UNIX domain socket redirection for OpenSSH but now it seems to be dead: http://www.25thandclement.com/~william/projects/streamlocal.html Generally I think it would be good idea to have UNIX domain socket redirection in Secure Shell standard because the difference between TCP/IP redirection code and the one used for UNIX domain sockets is minor. The feature would benefit many LTSP deployments and other installations aswell. Blogpost related to the lack of UNIX domain socket redirection in Secure Shell standard can be found here: http://v6sa.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/gnulinux-based-terminal-servers-with-smartcard-support/ -- Lauri Võsandi tel: +372 53329412 e-mail: lauri.vosandi@xxxxxxxxx company: Povi Software OÜ (http://www.povi.ee) blog: http://v6sa.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
