Package: autossh Version: 1.2g-1 Severity: important
When I turn monitoring off, either by specifying "-M 0" on the command line or by setting the environment variable AUTOSSH_PORT=0, autossh creates a garbled command line argument to ssh which in turn fails to run. This is how it looks:
# autossh -M 0 somehost ; : 19.05.05 10:48
Bad forwarding specification '¸áÿ¿Ï#ÿ·8_ë·¹
hëê·táÿ¿Pþ·'
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfghkNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
[-D port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-i identity_file]
[-L port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option]
[-p port] [-R port:host:hostport] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [command]
Please note the garbled forward specification which is the actual argument given to ssh.
Apparently this bug is known in upstream, in http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/CHANGES (for version 1.3) we find:
- fix ssh args when AUTOSSH_PORT=0 is used to turn monitor loop off (Karl Berry)
Severity to important, hope that the bug can be fixed before sarge.
Regards,
Peter
