That's cool - didn't know a rework of the ssh interactions had happened. It would be really good if we could detect if there's an existing "master" connection and piggyback over that (see options -M and -O). Reading man ssh_config it looks like we may be able to say something along the lines of " -o ControlMaster=auto ". cheers, martin -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
