I had a hard time recently working out what the ssh_config file equivalent of the -L command line option in ssh was. The man page happily tells you that "Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file." buut doesn't tell you *what* the configuration file equivalent is. (It's actually a bit obvious - LocalForward).
Is there any documented way of finding the mapping?
I'm now after the config file equivalents for -f and -N if there are any.
In many cases the config file also has a man page, so as well as man ssh there is also
man ssh_config and man sshd_config
and of course you can google both which usually gives me an easier-to-navigate manual to find what I'm looking for,
That said, a quick scan can't find the options you describe in man ssh_conf.
