I've been discovering that a slew of different older versions of ssh clients on various linux distros cannot use the -L option to forward a port and, at the same time, use the -S option to point to an existing connection to avoid a password prompt. The actual login works, but the forwarded port is never created. Newer versions of ssh work fine with both -S and -L. Weirdly, I've checked the ssh -V info from working and non-working versions and there is overlap in the version numbers. So, my question is this: Is there a reliable way to guess if this is going to work or not. Testing it is kind of difficult without users getting password prompts and such. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
