Hi all,

Not all systems have /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash.

Regards

After a lot of tinkering I found that the following change in
dynamic-forward.sh suddenly made the test succeed.

  In check_socks():

     ${REAL_SSH} -q -F $OBJ/ssh_config \
-           -o "ProxyCommand ${proxycmd}${s} $h $PORT 2>/dev/null" \
+           -o "ProxyCommand ${proxycmd}${s} $h $PORT" \
             somehost cat ${DATA} > ${COPY}

It occured to me that my login shell is tcsh, not bash.  So I changed
my login shell to bash and, lo and behold, dynamic-forward.sh succeeded
even with the stderr redirection.
Nice find!  Wow, tsch, I don't think I've used that in this millenium!
Yes, nice find.

Having said that, can this test be changed to be independent of the
user's long shell?
Yes we should be able to change to something that invokes
${TEST_SHELL} -c "[whatever]", although it might take a couple of
attempts to get the quoting right.   Lemme have a try...
Wouldn't it be simpler to just use '#!/bin/sh' as the shebang line for
the dynamic-forward.sh script?

It seems it is a long-standing shortcoming of the C shell that there is
no simple way to redirect only stderr. The goal of that regression test
isn't specifically to test a multitude of shell implementations, right?

Kind regards,

Job
