Package: openssh-client Version: 1:8.4p1-3 Severity: minor File: /usr/share/man/man1/ssh.1.gz Tags: upstream patch
Hello, while I experimented with ssh I noticed that -D supports using Unix sockets but this is undocumented in the manpage. I have no experience about bug/patch submitting upstream, so I'm just reporting here with a patch. Feel free to forward accordingly. Best regards Uwe -------->8-------- From: Uwe Kleine-König <uklei...@debian.org> Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2021 09:13:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ssh(1): Document -D supporting Unix sockets The option -D supports (similar to -L) to use a named Unix socket instead of binding to a port. Add this feature to the manpage. --- ssh.1 | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/ssh.1 b/ssh.1 index ad48fc8c816a..f67ee14d12f1 100644 --- a/ssh.1 +++ b/ssh.1 @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ .Op Fl B Ar bind_interface .Op Fl b Ar bind_address .Op Fl c Ar cipher_spec -.Op Fl D Oo Ar bind_address : Oc Ns Ar port +.Op Fl D Ar socketspec .Op Fl E Ar log_file .Op Fl e Ar escape_char .Op Fl F Ar configfile @@ -173,14 +173,21 @@ for more information. .Ar port .Sm on .Xc +.It Fl D Xo +.Sm off +.Ar local_socket +.Sm on +.Xc Specifies a local .Dq dynamic application-level port forwarding.
