Multiple ssh connections are not really required for recent openssh clients. These create a local "connection socket" which allows multiple ssh clients to operate through one TCP connection. For example my config file for a specific client looks like: Host somename User myname ControlPath ~/.ssh/%r.%h.sock ControlMaster auto StrictHostKeyChecking yes IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myid_dsa PasswordAuthentication no UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts ForwardX11 no ForwardAgent no As a consequence, if I log in to "somename" once, then the same TCP connection can be re-used by other clients---without re-authentication. This is most useful if I later need to "scp" a file to the "somename" while remaining connected. Regards, Kapil. --
