Package: sshfs Version: 1.6-1 Tags: patch Followup-For: Bug #430225 Despite of debatable usefulness of some ssh_config options with sshfs, this is a general problem. The list of recognized ssh_config options is hardcoded in sshfs.c and, sooner or later, this will prevent legitimate use. I ran into this when trying to disable connection sharing ad hoc, using ControlPath=none, for debugging another problem.
There are two possible solutions:
1. Regularly add new ssh_config options to sshfs.c (or at least add one
at a time after each reasoned, acceptable request ;).
2. Add a more general syntax to pass ssh_config options to ssh (or even
to pass any options to ssh, but this seemed unnecessary to me).
I've implemented both. Solution 1 is attached as more_ssh_options.patch
(only using options that seemed of possible utility with sshfs; this
didn't include ForwardAgent, when I went through ssh_config(5)).
Number 2 is all_ssh_options.patch. This adds "-o ssh_opt_SSHOPT=VALUE",
for any SSHOPT. If the user should choose an invalid one, sshfs will
silently exit with code 141; but it will likewise when, e.g.,
"-o Port=jkalsd34jk" (or something less obviously erroneous) is fed to
the unpatched version.
Please review and possible include the patches in your next upload.
Regards, Fabian
