I think the safe approach would be to say that autossh does depend on openssh-specific features: - it invokes "ssh", which AFAIK still refers exclusively to the OpenSSH client; - the man page discusses which command-line switches it can use that aren't already taken by ssh, meaning specifically the OpenSSH client; - it may (but I'm not sure about this) set other OpenSSH-specific command-line switches before invoking ssh. In Cygwin it definitely does. In Linux it may not yet, but the design assumes OpenSSH and so it may start doing so at any time in the future. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
