Hi, While testing the ControlPersist option (which is very useful by the way, thank you), I find out that setting it to 0 has the same behaviour as setting it to yes, while I would have expected to exit as soon as the last client exits. I'd like to make this behaviour clear, I think it should be documentated in the man page for example like this: $ cvs diff -u ssh_config.5 Index: ssh_config.5 =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/openssh/ssh_config.5,v retrieving revision 1.186 diff -u -r1.186 ssh_config.5 --- ssh_config.5 20 Apr 2014 03:22:46 -0000 1.186 +++ ssh_config.5 12 Jun 2014 22:34:51 -0000 @@ -529,7 +529,10 @@ .Xr sshd_config 5 , then the backgrounded master connection will automatically terminate after it has remained idle (with no client connections) for the -specified time. +specified time.

Of course, it would also be a good idea to change the behaviour and exits as soon as the last client exits. I tried to change the code in this way, but there is an issue in that the control background process doesn't even wait for the first client to connect...
