Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.2p1-8 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream
Hi, in port knocking setups, it would be great to have the possibility to execute a shell command before the ssh connection is actually initiated. That way, one could configure ssh like host foo hostname foo.bar.example user baz pre-connect knock foo.bar.example 1234 5678 and transparently initiate the connection by saying ssh foo. ssh would then first invoke the knock process and then initiate the actual ssh connection. If this is already possible without wrapping the ssh client, the documentation is too well hidden.
