Dear openssh developers,
has the problem related to remote unix socket forwarding to a local port
ever been fixed? (see message below: ssh -L 12345:/tmp/sock)
I could not find any code containing the patch (maybe i am looking in
the wrong places)
I actually had the same problem and the feature is really handy if you
are working on a windows machine.
Help is apreciated. Thanks!
Best regards,
Till Riedel

I cannot forward to a socket on the remote host ("No forward host name.").
Example:
ssh -L 12345:/tmp/sock
