Package: autossh
Version: 1.3-4
Severity: normal
This is also related to #230780. Running two autossh's without
setting -M manually causes the second one to exit immediately without
doing anything; it tries to bind to the same port. Can't it get a
randomly assigned port like everything else does?
Especially bad with -f where "autossh silently exits" is indistinguishable
from "autossh backgrounds itself".

All these work for me too, and -M on the command line overrides
AUTOSSH_PORT. Thanks a lot!
