Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.6p1-5 Severity: wishlist I'd like to see an option "ControlMasterLinger" which would tell ssh to stick around a bit longer after the end of a master connection, so that a subsequent attempt to connect can reuse the previous connection.
Currently, I often need to do a manual `ssh' to my CVS server for the sole purpose of establishing a master connection so that my subsequent cvs commands go through that connection. The option I ask for would make it unnecessary to create this explicit master connection: the first ssh process run by cvs would setup the master connection and subsequent ones would reuse it, as long as the time between them is short enough (I'd probably use a linger time in the order of a couple of hours). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.17 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.7 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.7-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.40.2-1 common error description library ii libedit2 2.9.cvs.20050518-4 BSD editline and history libraries ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20071013-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-1 SSL shared libraries ii passwd 1:4.0.18.1-11 change and administer password and ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-6 compression library - runtime openssh-client recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
