So now i have, and the bug(s) is (are) still in there. It is
a bug, if i type "man ssh_config" i see
PermitLocalCommand
Allow local command execution via the LocalCommand option or
using the ! Ns command escape sequence in ssh(1). The argument
must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
In OpenBSD language that is total crap.
If i type "zcat /usr/share/man/man5/ssh_config.5.gz|mandoc|v"
i see ... the very same!

The version from September 2015 acted as if "\&! Ns" had been
used. I don't have it no more, and am toooo lazy to bite.
In the meanwhile i seem to remember a message from A. J. Bentley
who reported some bug a while back, did he? I'm drowning in work,
i'd surely search otherwise.
