ssh_config file equivalents of command line options - how to find?
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. -- Chris Green

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. Steve

I've not experimented with them, but are the ControlPersist and PermitLocalCommand options any help? The first looks to be related to background'ing things and the latter can block command exection. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | https://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 Vice Chair, FSB Portsmouth & SE Hampshire Branch | http://www.fsb.org.uk/ ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP
